Constant Karma’s gonna get you….

I don’t know if it’s gonna knock you off your feet, but the human rights organization is protesting a move to put microchips in HIV carriers in Papua, Indonesia, according to the AFP. I’m not sure where I stand on this, but it’s an interesting test case in whether a human being should be allowed to be an inadvertent murder weapon. It’s kind of the ultimate version of “Don’t Ask,Don’t Tell.”

I don’t see any difference btw an ankle bracelet and an implanted chip.
Other than the physical location of the chip the intended result is the same.
If it’s a good thing for Martha is a good thing for Papuans.

Ok, maybe one is a little more invasive ;)
