  1. My online classmates and I were instructed by our lecturer to create these articles on topics that are recently becoming more and more popular and also to post them to a wide audience as possible. ARTICLE: # 1. Are we heading toward Mandatory Human Micro-chipping…and would that be so Bad? Why is there such a need to control persons? I believe it could be made mandatory for certain sectors of the society, to keep track of pets and livestock, criminals or persons with criminal tendencies, persons with chronic health risks, or persons deemed to be at risk. If a person has opted to have the device implanted on his person, that was his choice, he made an informed choice and his reasons were his. The US government claims microchips are the ultimate I.D., a personal identifier that could never be lost or stolen, but I perceive micro-chipping as the ultimate invasion of privacy, resulting in a total end to personal freedom. There is a trend to mimic what we consider to be fashionable before investigating the pros and cons of an issue and how it might impact our lives. Nearly all implantable microchips are unencrypted making them vulnerable to scanning. By scanning secretly, someone could steal the information on a chip and clone the signal, enabling that person to impersonate a chipped individual thus jeopardizing the security of the person, a building or computer. All the evidence suggests that mandatory human micro-chipping should be made into law but I still uphold some measure of moderation should be exercised; mainly because as I mentioned earlier this particular institution should be pro-choice. In part, persons in society have generally exhibited minimal restraint, and so have brought the consideration of this idea of mandatory human micro-chipping onto their own selves.
