Sept 21 (Reuters) - Shares of VeriChip Corp (CHIP.O) tripled after the company said it had been granted an exclusive license to two patents, which will help it to develop implantable virus detection systems in humans. The patents, held by VeriChip partner Receptors LLC, relate to biosensors that can detect the H1N1 and other viruses, and biological threats such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, VeriChip said in a statement. The technology will combine with VeriChip's implantable radio frequency identification devices to develop virus triage detection systems. The triage system will provide multiple levels of identification -- the first will identify the agent as virus or non-virus, the second level will classify the virus and alert the user to the presence of pandemic threat viruses and the third level will identify the precise pathogen, VeriChip said

Mark of the Beast?

The mark of the beast. I will not comply with any implants for any reason.

creepy

A bit more on the implant chips...

[LearsFool]

Will these implants track homosexuals with AIDS? Maybe sound an alarm when one of these perverts approaches a child? Notify the parents and the police?

I’d buy stock in THAT company.

It isn't a matter of if we are forced to have these things put in us without having a say, but when we will have it done to us.

[B-Chan]

It’s not the “Mark of the Beast”. The damned thing goes in your arm or back, not your right hand or forehead, which would be stupid places to put a computer chip.

What the VeriChip does represent is the latest attempt to turn human beings into property. Well, not me. I’d no more let the government chip me than I’d let them brand me or tattoo an ID number on my arm.

I oppose this abuse of technology on the grounds of human dignity. That’s grounds enough. Bringing 19th Century fundamentalist superstition into things will only serve to make opponents of the chip look stupid.

The radio frequency identification chips are cool. The same technology used in the Fast Lane of the toll booths. It just deducts the toll from your account. I can read the print outs and tell exactly where and when my wife went somewhere. Its great! And now they can detect diseases and virus when implanted in the body. Wow. We should get rid of all money and use these chips tied to our bank account instead. RF chips along with proximity scanners set up all over the country would make it impossible to get away with a crime. Just imagine how wonderful it will be. No more crime. A global monetary system with digital money. No more tax evasion. No more money laundering. No more drug dealers. If we could just figure out how to attach it to the central nervous system, then if you did commit a crime or something else that was undesirable, the authorities could just shut you down temporarily until they could pick you up. This is great!!

I would love to see the limp-wristed s***storm that would happen if someone announced they had a STD warning indicator that included HIV detection.

[o_zarkman44]

The proprietary design and the concept are exactly the same technology that will more than likely become the mark of the beast. I resent the 19th Century Fundamentalist remark however .

I really hope(especially with your user name), you are being sarcastic!

[John.Galt2012]

Most likely the mark of the beast is symbolic like 90% of everything else in Revelations. The fundamental premise of the “mark” is that without it you will not even be able to buy food, i.e. digital currency. Who knows, maybe the mark is the scar left by the implant. Anyway, that is where we are headed. There will be a 1001 reasons to get the chip, i.e. national ID to cutout illegal immigration to having your medical record on you at all times...notice the push to digitize medical records as well.

[John.Galt2012]

I really hope(especially with your user name), you are being sarcastic!
Always. It's part of my boyish charm.

[BenLurkin]

Getting close. Getting REAL close.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

Just add comprehensive health records and your financial data, and the steps are complete. Just place your hand in this device here, sir. You will feel a poke...
