If dogs can be implanted with microchip, what makes you think humans haven't been?

I met one.  He was a salesmen who sold those chips.  He had one put in his arm so he could demonstrate their use.\n\nThere really isn't any reason to experiment on people for this.  The chips are the size of a large grain of rice, which is much smaller than many implanted medical devices.  They have a biologically inert covering.  Medically, they are about as harmless as anything that can be implanted.  The privacy issues are a different matter.

yeah i believe it\n\nlook back at your history books of technology, you'll see a big jump from old large vacuum tubes to microcircuits and microchips.. we couldnt have discovered it that quickly. a UFO probably brought us the technology we're using today

The closest thing/being to humans is animals, and testing products on animals allows humans to observe and control results without humans being injured.  I suppose we could start testing new technology on prisoners, but I hear they have rights, also.

No way.  Once that microchip is inserted, you'll have absolutely no privacy for the rest of your life.

The cloning of animals, while promising, has many problems that would need to be adressed before the cloning process would be more effective than simply breeding the animals. A surprisingly low success rate of creating clones, along with the possibility of genetic defects being passed on and the expensive equipment required to perform these processes are large deterrents to cloning in today's world.\n   \n   The famous sheep, Dolly, was one out of numerous attempts to clone a single sheep.  Creating multiple clones would require either an enormous amount of equipment or an improvement on current methods to prevent only a small population of clones successfully being created.  In addition, any flaws in methods used could result in genetic defects.\n\n   Any unseen genetic defects in an animal to be cloned could ruin a large number (if not all) attempts to clone the animal.  Any animal to be cloned could possibly need extensive testing before the cloning process begins; again, slowing down the idea of mass-producing foods or medicines without the use of more equipment to attempt to create more clones.\n\n   Cloning equipment, in order to do its duty, needs to be precise.  Such equipment will not come cheaply.  While in the future, prices of this equipment may drop due to the aging of the technology or the possibility of mass production in the future, it is still expensive, as no kinds of grants or rebates by any government organization exist(as far as I know).\n   \n   If cloning equipment and techniques were improved upon, the cloning of animals would be very helpful to society.  As these techniques are now, however, it is not much more beneficial to clone animals as it is to simply breed them; a much more cost-effective solution for the present.

Not yet, but that is the hope for the future. We hope to be able to create nano robots than can go in and repair our cells at the molecular level

There used to be more than one species of humans but they died out. Technically there are animals that are our species like chimps, but are not humans. Some researches even believe we should be part of the same genus as well. All dogs are one species just different breeds like we have different races.  There are probably so many species of frogs because they can all cohabitate on the earth without interfering with each other and killing each other off.

It is often alledged that all forms of animal testing could be replaced by other means. However other means are often left vague.\n\nThere are computer simulation techniques to try to select appropriate molecules but all they do is whittle dosn the list of probable compounds which might work. Some of them are int he public domain (look at http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm) soem are complex private modelling tools.\n\nBut they are not comprhensive. I have friends who work for the Pharmaceutical Industry * medics, all without exception say there is no way they would trust a new compund that hadn't been tested before use. They are open about how it can be tested, but make the point that the human body is a complex mechanism, it cannot be simulated by computer, nor by cellular level trials. sometimes the side effecxts (and most compounds do have side effects) are seen in other parts of the body than expected, or can\nbe more severe than predicted.\n\nI don't think there is anyone who would condone testing of cosmetics and beauty products on animals (which are relativel easy to test on human volunteers, after all skin cells can be effectively tested, but pharamceutical compounds?\n\nThere may be a day when such compounds can be tested entirely in a computer, but I don't think its any where near there (yet). Simply we do not have enough information to create a realistic simulation model. Even so I'd still be very reluctant to be the first user of such a compound.

heck no...next the on the list is NHIS(National Human Indentification System) get ready for your chip too. The animals are the test bed to the future..Practice should be outlawwed

Semiconductors are most commonly used in the production of microchips. Most microchips are built on a silicon semi-conductor base. \n\nThe reason semi-conductors are used so widely is because their properties can be changed by adding impurities ("doping") to the raw form. \n\nI hope this helps! Much more information can be found at my source..

Nano-technology is a conceptualization of micro-biological machinery designed to work within the human body.\n\nAs of yet, it's only theory.....give it time, and it wouldn't surprise me.\n\nI saw tests on holograms in Japan just 2 years ago....so if they're managed THAT....nanotech shouldn't be too long yet.

we don't know for sure.\n\nbut i'd like to think so.\n\ngotta be something smarter than humans\n\n(besides dolphins..and mice.)

Well..Scientific experiment or no, there is a new thing out that when it becomes more popular amoung the general public, I'm SURE it will create quite some controversy..The thing I am talking about are called, GenPets. They are genetically created pets, and I think they are cloned using a splice between a human child and a mole..That's what they look like, and believe it or not, next year, they will be coming available for purchase..Go check out the website for them, i'll leave it on the source thing..It's amazing actually..Living and funtioning clones, and for a pet at that..Biogenetic engineering is such a controversial thing, but I believe if scientists could actually hoan the full potential of it and not just goof around with it, it would be VERY useful!!\nHttp://www.GenPets.com

There are implant chip used to Identify animals.  A needle is used to place a microchip with an encoded number under the animal's skin.  This number is then placed in a databank linked to your identity.\n\nThere are problems.\n\nI got my animals "chipped" then the local animal control changed to another manufacturer.  The new scanners recognized that the chip was there, but could not bring up the number.\n\nPlus, animal control does not scan roadkill/dead animals.\n\nOn the other hand, aside from tatooing/branding, it is the only way of permanently identifying your pet.

An invention: Cellborg ( http://www.livescience.com/technology/051027_cellborg_sensor.html ) massive potential to become useful in our lifetimes\n\nA discovery: new blackhole ( http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/050509_blackhole_birth.html ) very little potential to become useful in our lifetimes, but oh so cool\n\nOffbeat: monkeys have accents ( http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051129/od_afp/japananimalsoffbeat ) it has to do with monkeys and I personally find study language fascinating

No, but it's not impossible- A widely held, but incorrect, belief is that the fetus must implant in the uterus.  The uterus is an excellent place for implantation, but the fetus drives formation of the placenta/umbilical cord, which can form on any vascularized tissue. This is the case in ectopic pregnancies-they are dangerous, but possible. It has been shown in male dogs that a fetal puppy can implant and grow on the external wall of the intestine, and develop-but the experiment was not taken to term.  There has never been an experiment reported in which a fetus was implanted in a man.  Theoretically it would be possible to grow a fetus in a man to the point that the fetus could be removed and kept alive ex vivo.  It would be dangerous for the man because of the massive growth in vascularization on any tissue the fetus implants, and the chance for bleeding, and since the man doesnt have the same hormones the fetal brain would likely develop significantly differently, but the end answer is that there is no physiological reason it is not possible.  I doubt, however, that it could be taken to term without serious danger to the man.

WHERE DO YOU GET SUCH IDEAS GUYS..? IF IT HAPPENS, DOGS CANT SLEEP AT NIGHT..;-}
