The tech is fine. Injecting it under the skin isn't tech, though. That is the specific use of a specific technology.

This happens throughout history without anyone realizing it. Look at smoking. In the 60's it was just a warning label. No harm. Then in the 70's it was just about smoke free flights. No problem. Now it's restricting the rights of private property owners.

Do you fear things like technologies for monitoring internet activity? When the tech was developed, it was just tech. Let's build up chemical and biological weapons. That's just tech. You say you don't fear tech that might be used for nefarious purposes, but I would guess that it depends on what that tech is.

And to reiterate, this isn't tech. It's a usage of a tech.

Not really, I fear the nefarious purpose. There's no nefarious purpose here. When there is, I'll oppose it.
