I wholeheartedly agree that this chip would certainly be useful in the area
of healthcare.  However, like anything else in life there will be those who
may try to use the technology for purposes other then for which it was
intended. I would hope that there would be regulations in HIPPA, Access to
Information and Privacy etc. which will speak to this technology.  Questions
such as how will I know if I am being scanned, who has access, how is the
information stored, retention, disposition, security etc need to be
addressed.

For Sharon - If all of these types of questions are addressed then I must
say in my heart of hearts, I hope that it will become available so that
other people's lives will be made easier, safer and even prolong life.
