Of course we can be at peace.
I simply disagree that such technology has any place among sane individuals.
Accepting such a position allows the advancement of “monitoring for your own good”.
And i reject that.
I see it as one of consent when it comes to the technology.
Suppose I have a problem with irregular heart rhythms. I agree to have a pacemaker installed. Let’s suppose the ‘newest’ models are bluetooth enabled and once a day or continuously upload telemetry to my cardiologist. Because the doc has this info, he can improve my course of care.
I am OK with that, as long as I said it’s OK to implant said device.
The ISSUE comes in when the FEDS *MANDATE* that I MUST have that device implanted and I *MUST* upload data. IF I don;t have a choice, THAT is a problem.
A tougher one is when Kaiser or BlueCross says “if we are going to continue to cover you for your tachycardia, you need to have the model 1500 implanted and comply with the upload requirements.” hmmm tougher choice.
Anyway, thanks for participating in the ‘debate’.
