Would you agree to a microchip implant if it were required for your job?*
The issue isn't as far-fetched as you might think.

Microchips, about the size of a grain of rice, are used to track store
inventories, give motorists a quick pass through toll booths, and
provide information on missing pets.
In some places, they've been implanted in people in connection with a job.
An Ohio surveillance firm and the Mexican attorney general's office had
workers get a chip implant before gaining access to certain records.
Should an employee be able to require a worker to get an implant as a
condition of employment?
At least three states, California, North Dakota and Wisconsin, prohibit
that. Should states bar such implants?
Would you get an implant if it meant getting or keeping a job?
