Replying to Cyborg Spy Moths
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,276182,00.html
Personally I'm not in favor of this technology, the moths spying isn't really a problem, it's that this technology will, in my opinion, almost definatly be abused. Not only that I simply don't like the idea of manipulating life. I'm not some religious nut case, I'm still undecided on whether I believe in god, but this just seems wrong to me.
The article brings up the point about athletes using this technology to help themselves perform better, this could be a problem, obviously not some huge issue that will change the face of the earth but still an issue none the less.
Also this can't help but make me think that maybe all those conspiracy theories about having computer chips in our brains aren't so crazy after all. After all most of the technology we have today was first developed for use in wars (how sad is that) and then later adapted for everyday use.
I can't help but think that there's much more important things they could be researching, they can make acctual living RC Moths but they still can't find a cure for AIDS or cancer?
