A new article considering chip implants:<\/p>\n

\n

Among other tragedies in Florida recently gripping America\u2019s attention, a 2-year-old boy was snatched away from its parents by an alligator at Walt Disney World<\/a> on Wednesday. I have a similar-aged toddler myself, and I followed this heartbreaking story closely. Unfortunately, it ended as horribly as it began, with the recovery of a dead child<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My presidential campaign<\/a> with the Transhumanist Party<\/a> is based on advocating for radical science and technology to make the world a better place for humans. As a result, for nearly two years I have been advocating for using chip implants in people to help keep them safer. Chip implants are often just the size of a grain of rice and can be injected by a needle in a nearly pain-free 60-second procedure. The implants can do a multiple array of things depending on the type. And much of the technology has been used in pets for over a decade, so it\u2019s already been shown to be relatively safe.<\/p>\n

I have a RFID<\/a> NFC chip in my hand<\/a> that is programmed to send a text saying \u201cWin in 2016\u201d to people who have the right type of phone. To get the text, all you have to do is put your phone by my hand. My chip can also start a car with the right software, hand out a business card electronically, or give out my medical information.<\/p>\n

But the future of implants\u2014as well as other wearable tech\u2014may end up being most useful for the safety it provides.<\/p>\n
