Biohacking In The Medical Field

Fracking is a technique designed to get gas and oil out of shale rock in the earth. Natural gas has been used for light and heat for more than 100 years, natural gas is considered one of the cleanest fossil fuel but since it is a fossil fuel it is also a finite resource. Natural gas industry developed a new drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing also known as fracking . fracking is a means of extracting natural gases from shale. Tons of chemicals some toxic are mixed with large amounts of water and sand and pumped up to 8,000 feet under ground. The pressure fractures the shale and allows the gas to freely move.

Microchipping people isrecognized as one of the most popular evolutional technologies that could change people 's life style and standard. Human implanting has the potential ability of saving life when emergency; it is capable of improving efficiency at work and life quality of life. Also it can bring evolutional change to the security system forever. With that mass of expectation, microchipping people also brings people equivalent large amount of concerning, people are worried about the consequence of implanting things that are unnatural, radioactive or privacy-threaten into their bodies and unlikely to be taken out undamaging to body. In this report, advantages and disadvantages of the technology will be shown with discussion of engineers responsibility regards on real life cases.

“Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well.” (Megan Caponetto and Tom Schierlitz, BBC UK, What is fracking and why is it controversial?, 12/16/15). I went with this BBC quote because it’s challenging to find a proper definition without bias. From what I’ve seen and heard, to frack they drive multiple tanker trucks into the area filled with a mixture of water and

If I were to agree to implant chips into people they would be good reasons to do it.One of my main reasons would be to have society move faster when it comes to shopping.Who likes to wait in the line for a while?none so that would give them a reason to have a chip inserted into their hand.It will be a quick scan and there your set when it comes to paying.A chip can have you set within less than five minutes in line.

First of all, what is fracking? Hydraulic fracturing is the process of drilling and injecting fluid into the ground at high

My proposal is a micro chip implanted into our forearm. The first step will be to appoint many government employees and scientists to prepare all the chips for each individual person that is a U.S citizen. Once the chips are available they will be sent to every U.S. hospital. After the chips have arrived every person in America, that is eligible, will get an email at what hospital they need to pick up theirs. Shortly after the already existing humans get their chips, the employees that were distributing them will set up shop at the hospital for the upcoming newborns. As soon as those suckers pop out and are washed up, the chip will be inserted. Once everyone is chipped another form will be emailed about the upcoming

Going as far as implanting devices into people to monitor them is a little too much, but by adding a few parts to the already existing bracelet should not really present too many problems. All in all I think this program would help prevent re offenses and help curb the costs of putting people back in jail. According to Pro Tech, a company who is working with law enforcement officers in Oklahoma City, it cost roughly $9 a day to monitor a person via GPS bracelet as opposed to $48 a day to send them back to jail. This is only one reason why we should do this, another being that it may help people become productive members of society again by giving them just enough supervision to know that ok if I mess up I am going back to jail and someone may be watching at any time, and enough freedom to let them lead a semi normal life, and not have to worry about ok am I going to miss the phone call because I went to the store. It can also be used on people who are awaiting trial. If we know where they are at all times, they will be guaranteed to be in court.

Hydraulic fracking is a process in which metal pipes are drilled miles deep into the ground. This method uses millions of gallons of water and chemicals which are injected down a pipe, thus causing rock layers called shale to break due to a difference in pressure. Furthermore, the natural gas flows upwards and is obtained to be further burned for human use.

Carol Hutson in her peer-reviewed article for the Online Journal of Issues in Nursing discusses various emerging technologies that will change the face of healthcare, as we know it (Hutson, 2013, p. 1). She writes about things I could only imagine as science friction, a bionic eye, tattoos for monitoring glucose, and in keeping with the class reading Paro a mental service robot, unbelievable. The first prototype for the bionic eye was supposed to revealed in 2013.

Fracking is the short term used for hydraulic fracturing, the forcing of water at high pressure into the ground in order to open natural lines to underground gas and oil deposits extracting it by forcing it upwards. We currently use fracking as a way to keep gas prices down and not have our country dependent of foreign gas.

new advancements such as microchip implant for humans and animals can be very controversial. At first, the implants may seem to have benefits but in the long run they will actually cause more trouble than they are worth. These potential "troublemakers" are about the size of an elongated grain of rice and are injected in the skin under the arm or hand (Feder, Zeller 15). The chip is not powered by battery and there is nothing that can possibly leak out into the body (Posada-Swafford 8). An early form of this technology was used to monitor salmon and has been used for other wildlife research (Verhovek 5). The idea of the chips was started from the September 11 tragedy

Over the years, there has been a high focus on the biometric technology for identifying people. According to Covacio (2003:843), this technology was focused on the use of fingerprint scans, voice prints as well as recognition by the retina as a way of identifying people. A new technology however has been identified that may be used for the same reasons and others such as medical, security or just for identification. This technology is the human identification chip. These chips have been used over the years for identification of animals especially tracking them in case they are lost.

“Biohacking” is the marriage of biology with the hacker ethic. Not defined in mainstream dictionaries, the newly-coined term is used loosely. Biohacking refers to human body-enhance- ment, at-home gene sequencing, and managing the human body with medicine, nutrition, and electronics. “Biohackers,” also known as “grinders” or “transhumanists-in-practice,” seek to im- prove the human condition by manipulating and fusing human biology with technology. In other words, biohacking seeks to make the human experience more pleasurable. A grinder hacking the human body at home—enhancing the human-body experience, minimizing bodily pain, or curing cancer—paves the way for mainstream humanity to reap the benefits of the biohacking craft. Likewise, the framework of utilitarianism seeks to maximize pleasure and minimize pain for the greatest number of individuals. Utilitarianism as a framework spotlights what is ethical about biohacking.

Take, for instance, the micro chip. Twenty years ago the thought of legally implanting a device into the body for any reason was inconceivable. A medical procedure along these lines would only be perceived in a sci-fi movie or some other Hollywood film. Yet, recent developments into human micro chipping have produced many favorable outcomes. Treatments like transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) now show promise as a means of treating depression, epilepsy, and other drug-resistant brain disorders (Loria 2014). In addition, there is the potential of this technology to help dementia patients. An implant could enable sufferers to operate a virtual fence, thereby giving them much more freedom to wander on their own. Conversely, the implants could be used to restrict movement, to act as a tag for prisoners either as a means to stop them leaving an establishment or rather to indicate when they try to enter somewhere off-limits (Wordsworth, Warrick). Originally, the technological aspect of micro chipping was not developed to produce adverse outcomes. In fact, as a whole not any of the technological items produced were developed to harm man. The undesirable effects associated with technological advancements only surface when humans allow their bizarre

2 Articles The 1.7 Kilogram Microchip: Energy and Material Use in The Production of Semiconductor Devices, E. D. Williams, R.U. Ayres Summary Kilogram microchip implants that track people's movements or allow shoppers to purchase groceries with the wave of a finger may soon be more than science fiction: One scientist is working to make them part of everyday reality. The computer that controls the environment in Warwick's office recognizes his presence because the implant - a glass capsule 23 millimeters long containing kilogram microchips - sends a unique signal. The computer can then adjust the lights and heat to Warwick's pre-set preferences. The key to implants' usefulness is that unique signal, which many speculate could be used as a cross between a social security number and a PIN, allowing computers in your home, workplace, car, grocery store, and hospital to recognize you. You wouldn't have to worry about losing your keys again: Your car and your house would automatically admit you. (Of course, if the implant broke or the computers went down, you'd face the high-tech equivalent of losing your keys.) At the bank or grocery store, implantees could transfer funds or buy provisions without ever having to reach for a wallet or purse. Such implants might tempt criminals to attack individuals and forcibly remove the implants in order to steal a person's identity or access his bank account. However, implants could be designed to give off a distress signal if they were
