For example, I think that putting sensors in pets so that they are tracked all the time will happen _after_ this happens to people. And AFAIK they _are_ putting sensors in people _now_. Heck, if I were a possible candidate to kidnapping, I would bug myself!
Another one, screening babies before they are born - this is done all the time. In the future this screening might become complete, but AFAIK about 95% of the pregnancies with babies with Down Syndrome are aborted *because* of screening. In India and China screening is used to abort girls. Alberto Monteiro
