Post one - Ethical Dilemmas

Data Chip implants (Lavinia, Laupepa, Jade and Antonio)

In this scenario who might benefit and who might suffer?
benefits of having data chips will help our law enforcements in many ways such as tracking down and keeping track records of criminals not only will it help them it will also help parents who are strict on there children current locations these data chips can help make a change in our society and will also benefit a profit for the maker of the data chip. People who may suffer are the criminals themselves and people who are getting the data chips inserted in there bodies but not only will the maker of the data chip or the person inserting the data chip will make an income they may also lose there job or even get arrested if everything goes wrong.

Who would hold the power in this scenario?
people who may hold power towards these data chips may be the law enforcements the government and the data chip maker they can not only hold power towards our communities and society but also make a profit/income from the people who are using the data chips these holder


Could this new technology help to improve or could it worsen the state of society?
Yes it would help us because in a state of emergency like a burglary or a lost child, you would know where they are and you'll be able to seek them out. Chips will also verify our identities and see if our children have traversed the boundaries we set for them. Another good thing about this experiment is give paramedics immediate access to our medical records, allowing us to go without cash or as we pay for our groceries and medical treatments via a handswipe, or even store our educational and employment data (known as a CV) for a job interview. Some negative affects about this experiment will be spying on your every move and looking at your financial records.


Could humanity as we know it change?
Humanity will change due to the suspects that get data chip implanted in their arm. They have less chances of getting away with criminal offences, etc. This may change the way people think and may help change their actions toward their community.
