Note: If you can’t meet the deadline(s) for this week (and each week hereafter), better let me know in advance.
I’ve already left some supplemental links for this week through my shared Google Reader site.
Some related issues you might be interested in:
- There has been talk for some time about the advantages (and disadvantages) of having RFID implants in humans. Yes, that goes quite a bit further than storing your medical info online with Google Health, but it’s certainly technologically possible.
- Also, currently, your DNA information is likely to be copied and stored electronically. How does this fit into our discussion?
