Is microchipping people against their will ethical?

Question

The governments trying to make it a requirement to have the public microchipped....

Honestly, it's not my fault I live on there land, and I would leave if I could. They don't own me, so they have NO right to know where I go, that is my business.

Plus it's just creepy knowing that somewhere, a government official is watching you, 24/7. your every move.... You go to your gf's house, they'll know. You stop for donuts, they'll know. Sure, it'll stop things like binladdin, but at what price? Our privacy.

And not that I think what binladdin did was right, he's an EVIL bastard that needs to die, but if it for weren't things like that, the human population would grow dangerously, and a lot more than a few million people would die from starvation/lack of homes, etc. etc.

Oops, I rambled there at the end...

I agree with anttheater, a child limit is much better than blowing people up.

Answer 1

Not ethical except for criminals. Sensible people, working together could work out a compromise between security measures and loss of privacy. If the ordinary voters don't work it out, someone else will do it for them.
As far as the overpopulation, the people are expanding . The Earth is not. So, at some point, population will have to be controlled but it will probably be a limit of two offspring rather than blowing them up. We will probably run out of cheap energy (oil) and water, long before we run out of room.

Answer 2

I'd say it's only ethical for those people who have no respect for free will in the first place: violent criminals and repeat sexual offenders. They *need* to be watched as you describe, it would save lives.

But ordinary, law-abiding citizens? Hell no. Biblical allusions aside, that *does* sound entirely too much like marking someone as being "less than human" so the Powers That Be can restrict movements, and eventually ship folks off to camps to die. I don't see the point to this, and actually *refuse to*. I mean, what the hell?

You mention Bin Laden....U.S. Troops *had him* in Afghanistan, but were *ordered* to let the locals handle it for PR purposes...and what happened? The locals let *their boy* slip away. Pardon the brief digression, but there's a point to this.

*Why* chip, and effectively punish, law-abiding citizens when we *allow* criminals to get away with their misdeeds? Most *Americans* don't need to be chipped and located by satellite. But things *change* when you talk about Saudi Arabs or Arabs from the Emirates, don't they? At that point, you'd think, with the historical track record, that *every* Bin Laden living on this Earth would be chipped by now....

But no, that would make too much sense and piss off both Big Oil and the religious fundies (Christianoid and Muslim) that they sponsor by way of *your* gas tank and *your* motor vehicle. So we can't have that, oh no.

Instead we have to punish folks for *obeying* the Law and for *NOT* being murderous scum. What. The. Hell?

It makes me sad for the world, it does. -_-

Thanks for your time. Have a Star, you earned it. Good, damned good, question.

Answer 3

I don't believe I've ever heard anyone with authority remotely hint at this. Leave your conspiracy theories aside, it's not happening in our lifetimes. Cost alone would be astronomical, plus we have too many civil liberties in this country to even consider that approach.

Answer 4

Hey Everyone! Yes, these are the times...

You know, it's simply a matter of getting OUT of the bad-apple box. There's alot of good people in that box, but they are, nonetheless, IN that bad-apple box.

This may be helpful to a few:

And I heard a voice from Heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues; for her sins have reached into Heaven, and Elohim (Hebrew for "God") hath remembered her iniquities. Rev.18:4-5

Answer 5

Atheists laugh at Christians, but we call this the sign of the beast. It was told in the bible that there would be a mark that would identify us because there would eventually no longer be money to be exchanged.

Answer 6

No way is it ethical, and we will fight it all the way.
