US Company seeks approval for ID Chip

A Florida based company is seeking government approval to market an implanted ID Chip. The chip has already been marketed for use in pets for several years. The company decided to press ahead with marketing it for humans after September 11th. IT claims it could foil kidnappings, etc.

quote:The chip has drawn attention from several religious groups.

Theologian and author Terry Cook said he worries the identification chip could be the ``mark of the beast,'' an identifying mark that all people will be forced to wear just before the end times, according to the Bible.

Applied Digital has consulted theologians and appeared on the religious television program the ``700 Club'' to assure viewers the chip didn't fit the biblical description of the mark because it is under the skin and hidden from view.


Silly man, don't they know that the barcode is already the Mark of the beast?

Well, as long as the 700 Club approves, I can't see there being any problems w/ it.

They say that they wouldn't provide it to a company that had intent to coerce people into having it. But how do they know that they aren't being lied to and secondly, once the statute of limitations on copyright and patent have expired then a less scrupulous company could do that.

It's not like these chips are doing GPS tracking or anything. Ecologists can't even figure out a way to get a half decent transmitter onto a turtle or frog. How is this company going to do the same thing with something the size of a grain of rice? If I remember correctly, the chip measures blood changes and is moderately useful for identification, hardly the mark of the beast as far as I'm concerned.
