Would you let your employer implant a chip in you?

Today we give over our fingerprints without really even thinking about it.

I don't, though the government has mine on file - on paper AFAIK - from 1986 when I enlisted.\

I won't be at all surprised when people start getting chipped. Sounds outrageous today but I'm sure that's where we are headed eventually.

I refuse.  Now what?  If there's no consequence, it's not mandatory.  If there is, there's where the dystopia comes in, IMHO.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is there has been a huge cultural shift when it comes to giving of fingerprints, whether or not you as an individual do or not. (Plus you mentioned that you gave your fingerprints to the government anyway, despite your philosophical resistance to the idea. Ghandi was willing to have the crap beat out of him to avoid being fingerprinted. Overall people give their fingerprints pretty easily. Same goes for something like showing pictures of yourself online. When the internet was new, most people didn't. Now people put just about everything about themselves online. If micro-chipping comes into the mainstream, I suspect there will be a similar cultural shift.
