Scenario
OK, Imagine the scenario, fast forward a few years (hopefully many years!)
Mandatory ID cards are in place, and have been for a while. We are living in a cashless society where all transactions are made using our ID cards with biometric chips, and all info recorded in a cenral database!
There have been many problems in the past few years with forgeries of ID cards, and people using other people's cards. Many people have lost theirs and had to pay for replacements.
As always does, technology mooves on and the soloution being pushed by governments is to replace the cards with a similar, although more secure soloution, after all, we can't go back to cash can we? Everthing is connected to the main hub, our records, our financial data, everything.
Enter The Verichip
The laws are passed and everyone is now required to recieve a verichip implant to replace their ID Card.
Christians and human rights groups appeal, but as is overwhelmingly true over history with government legislation, it is passed, and is now law.
You, and everyone else, including your familly are now required to take the verichip.
What do you do?
Remember, without it you will not be able to gain accesses to services, or even have money, there is a serious threat to your survival without it, un chipped people may even be subjected to detention and imprisonment!
I stand here in strong defiance, however I worry about my child. If I allow her to be chipped, well, the thought of it doesn't bear thinking about!
But then if I don't, what then am I subjecting her to. This is, of course, assuming parents have a choice on the matter!
This is only a hypothetical question, but a very real and likely possibility and I would be keen to hear others thoughts about it.
