In light of the recent attacks in Europe, the search for terrorists, and the ongoing refugee/immigration issues, I still support considering this idea of implants. In fact, so long as the Middle East is in strife, and large amounts of refugees are created, and fundamental religiosity thrives, I'm certain some type of tracking technology implementation in the developed world is inevitable over the next 2-15 years for refugees and some immigrants. Such technology broadly remains the humanitarian thing to do (read the article!), while still protecting the public and national interests.

This is a Libertarian-minded article I wrote almost a year ago (READ BEYOND the title!), trying to deal with a bogged down government. It turns out, maybe there is enough fire and reason out there now after the elections to reboot the FDA to be more lean and less bureaucratic. Either way, the hope is that America can streamline drug approvals and policy to give better health and longevity to its citizens. The bottom line is: Kick out the lawyers and take more chances with new drugs and medical devices. People are dying in the 21st Century that don't need to. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/we-n... #Future #FDA

My new story for New Scientist on robot voting rights. This story came about because of my discussion with Professor Lawrence Lessig on the BBC World Service. To read my article, you may have to sign up for a free New Scientist account (it takes 1 minute).
