One in four Germans wants microchip in body

I don't see enough benefit in passive chip implantation, like RFID: just another authentication protocol that ultimately can get hacked. While an active chip would generate heat and potentially become carcinogenic. I suppose that can be overcome.

I think the benefit of the passive chip is that you can use it for ID. I can definitely see a scenario where a chip with a medical ID is used by emergency teams to do things like give blood and medicine by referencing a database for your bio-medical information. This would be a lot easier to do in the military and would make a lot of sense with more and more automation in that process.

I have a hard time to see reality in this survey and as the physics professors said, if did not create the statistics you can’t believe it.  German society is in general skeptical on advanced technology when it comes to bio-science.

>The survey, conducted by German IT industry lobby group BITKOM.

Also:

> 23 per cent of around 1000 respondents in the survey said they would be prepared to have a chip inserted under their skin "for certain benefits".

The title is simply wrong. These sentences do not have the same meaning. Flagged the article :(
