Researchers deliver drugs using wireless implant
 
So. I can’t tell how I feel about this.
  1.  
  2. Researchers for MicroCHIPS Inc. say they've successfully controlled drug doses for up to six months in dogs that received implants in an experiment. Inside the implants were postage stamp-sized microchips containing 100 tiny reservoirs of medicine released at different intervals and amounts.
  3.  
Theoretically, it means someone could remote control whoever has such implants just by using the right drugs: uppers to keep them happy, dope to sedate them, psychotics to get them properly violent. Imagine a class of biot - human robot - raised from birth with these chips in them. No sense of natural biological flow, everything bsaed solely on time-released or remote-detonated chemical injections. What kind of creature would that be? Sort of frightening.
 
I, mean.... I could find personal uses on my next anniversary, with special aphrodesiac drugs injecting into my wife’s bloodstream AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON. Which is kind of an enticing argument for this new science, despite any personal misgivings.
 
Onward futurity.
