The article written by Margaret Rhodes “An Implanted Wearable Gadgets Isn’t as Crazy as You’d Think”. The argument I found in this article is, these new gadgets consider improving the quality of life in future and try to measure our life in new ways, such as locks on doors, making payments, and tracking basic health. On the Other hand, these new gadgets are trying to transform the most complicated system in the human hand, such as when we put the chip under our skin some time it become harmful and cause an infection of skin and these gadgets will make us lazy we would not use our body for any

Ofir Turel, Anna Romashkin, and Katherine Morrison equally contribute to the idea that our…

    What clearly emerges from my analysis of the transhumanist and bioconservative views is that the implementation and development of implantable memory chips raises a lot of ethical issues that would affect individuals, communities and societies. Transhumanists think that it is our duty to commit ourselves to the progress of memory enhancing implants in order to develop a better quality of life and better societal systems. Bioconservatives say that memory enhancing chips should be prohibited or limited in use since it could pose a threat to our privacy, freedom, equality, safety, autonomy, individuality, human dignity and our self-relationship of the mind to the body. In my assessment it also becomes clear that the major difference between…
