I Got Chipped: Are We Ready for Technology Under Our Skin?
Today, more than 50,000 people worldwide have elected to receive microchip implants, which allow you to pay with your hand, open your car or house door, store your medical information in case of an emergency and much more – all from your hand. Biohackers, proponents of microchipping, are an underground movement of citizen scientists who use unconventional approaches when experimenting on their own bodies outside of the traditional lab. So, what are the consequences? Anastasia says she's a cyborg magician, transhumanist, and biohacker who has 47 implants and plans to get more. Through an in-studio demonstration, Anastasia shows Dr. Phil and viewers exactly what some of her microchip implants do. Did she go overboard? Brandon is a healthcare technologist and tech enthusiast who can use one of his hand implants to open his car. Does he plan to get more implants? Amal Graafstra, who is the founder and CEO of VivoKey Technologies, is one of the leading experts in biohacking who says he is fighting the stigma with human microchipping and wants the public to understand the many benefits. Michelle Dennedy, CEO of PrivacyCode and a partner at Privactus Consulting, says she is a critic because of privacy risks. R is another critic who believes human microchipping is dangerous to our health, and it must be stopped. And, Dr. Charles Sophy, author of Family Values, weighs in on the psychological and emotional impacts of microchipping. In this action-packed episode, viewers are left to decide if tech enthusiasts are going too far with implanting chips in their bodies or if human microchipping is the wave of the future.
