So, this week we have had quite an interesting QOTW. In regards to the chip I couldn't help feel like that would be the beginning of the end of all of our personal and private lives. You hear the urban legends that they implant chips into you anyway when you go in for a surgery, but this way with a tracking system that keeps records of your movements, we would be taking a gigantic step into a very frightening future. I would think that this practice would lead to a very slippery slope and we would end up with our entire lives being broadcast for the government to watch whenever they want. Don't get me wrong, I am not a person that does wrong and needs to keep my privacy but it is just creepy to think that they would have the opportunity to keep tabs on you whenever they wanted to. I also couldn't think of anything crueler than putting people into a camp just because they have HIV. Has anyone watch the movie District 9? It would remind me of a setting such as that where the whole camp would eventually turn into a slum....especially in a country where it might not be as developed as ours. It certainly wouldn't stand out as a five star resort....and who would pay for it? I have to say, now that the M&M simulation is over I am glad that they have finally developed medicine that people only have to take one pill for their HIV medication a day. Sure, there are still a few that they might have to take, but the "one pill" eliminates most if not all of the struggles that positive people would have trying to make sure that they get their medication regimen down.
DID YOU KNOW?
There are many different information outlets for the side effects of medication for HIV available on the web. Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services has published quite an extensive breakdown of just what can happen to you when you take this medication to fight off HIV. The DHHS lists some of these side effects as "extreme liver damage, multiple bone problems, and skin rashes which can actually become life threatening".

Hey Nix,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about the whole tracking chip thing. If we agree to it, we are allowing the government to take control of our lives and track us down because I am sure it will start off with tracking HIV+ people only and then it will end up with tracking the whole population. It just scares me to think about our lives becoming the TV cable for the government! That would totally suck!!!!
I agree that it is creepy that the government would think about putting a microchip in someone to track if they have HIV. The government has enough control over what we do but to have them track our everyday living is ridiculous. Great post.

ReplyDeletePeople being microchip is absurd , if you are going to take the time to microchip a person because they can’t control themselves and are going to continue to spread this virus why not just put them into jail. Because, seriously when will it stop HIV patients, next thing you know everyone that has been given a DUI, etc. This world would end up being like the book “1984”. Not cool.
ReplyDeleteI found myself laughing as I read all the posts over this question. A chip can't tell the watcher if the person is having sex. The only thing it can do is say the person is stationary in x place. There is no way to track movements that had most students upset.
ReplyDeleteJust remember that not everyone can take the once a day pills. My daughter couldn't. They made her crazy; changing her personality over night. It took months for the drugs effects to wear off.
