" In the past this meant that someone whose physical abilities were extended beyond normal by mechanisms built into the body. But since then the meaning has changed. By the end of the 21st century there were few human beings to whom that description could not be applied. At the start of the century, prosthetics were just a replacement for body parts and were often inferior, but very soon those replacements were becoming superior to the parts they replaced. By the latter half of the century people were voluntarily substituting eye lenses with versions that gave them eagle vision, computer displays, and access to virtual reality. Others wove electromuscle into their existing muscle, reinforced their bones, wrapped soft robots around their hearts and transfused artificial blood...……" cont. p111. Neal Asher. The Soldier.

I would have thought current Human rights and privacy laws would put a stop to this.
Never ever accept a microchip in your body. Read the book of Revelation in the Bible and the stuff about the mark of the beast.
This could be a precursor

Isn't it 666 thats the mark of the beast?
I remember when something like this was mentioned on here a while ago. An American company was trialling the implanting of chips into workers fingers to ease the purchasing of food from vending machines. I seem to remember that some posters thought that it was "progress". Over my dead body. I would strike over that prospect. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime though
