Introduction
Biochips invented 9 years ago by gene scientist Stephen Fodor.
Collection of miniaturized test sites of living entities (microarrays) arranged on a solid substrate that permits many tests to be performed at the same time in order to achieve higher throughput, speed, accuracy and smaller size.
Components Of Biochip
The implantable biochip
Passive Biochip: No Batteries
Composed of
Microchip
Antenna coil
Tuning capacitor
Glass Capsule
In What Way They Work?
Transmits a small signal
Charges the tuning capacitor
ID number transmitted by the transponder
This number is then compared with a database listing of registered pets.
Advantages Of Biochips
TO RESCUE THE SICK.
TO FIND LOST PEOPLE.
TO IDENTIFY PERSON UNIQUELY.
IN MONITORING HEALTH CONDITION OF
INDIVIDUALS IN WHICH THEY ARE
SPECIFICALLY EMPLOYED.
THEY CAN PERFORM THOUSANDS OF
BIOLOGICAL REACTIONS ,OPERATIONS
IN FEW SECONDS.
Disadvantages Of Biochips
THEY RAISE CRITICAL ISSUES OF PERSONAL PRIVACY.
THEY MARK THE END OF HUMAN FREEDOM AND DIGNITY.
THEY MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED BY LARGE % OF PEOPLE.
THERE IS A DANGER OF TURNING EVERY MAN, WOMEN, AND CHILD INTO A CONTROLLED SLAVE.
THEY CAN BE IMPLANTED INTO ONES BODY WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE.
