I should wear one but I don't because I hate wearing jewelry all the time! It just irritates my skin (not as in "rash" but as in "nerves"; I can't even stand the feeling of clothing-tags on the back of my neck, and virtually always cut them off). I'd be the first to sign up for an implanted chip, Orwell or no Orwell... as long as that wouldn't get on my nerves just as much. I can just see myself going back to the doctor, begging him to take out the implant because the feel of it in my ear drove me crazy!

Maybe someday they'll have a DNA database, and the EMT will just draw your blood, run it through a 10-second processor and have a readout of all your info... That wouldn't help an identical twin, though, would it?
