An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological

structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing

biological structure.

Medical implants are man-made devices, in contrastto a transplant, which isa transplanted biomedical tissue.

The surface ofimplantsthatcontactthe body might be made of a biomedical

material such astitanium, silicone or apatite depending on whatisthe most

functional.

In some casesimplantscontain electronics e.g. artificial pacemaker and

cochlear implants

WHAT IS ICD THERAPY?

ICD Therapy consists of pacing,

cardioversion, and defibrillation therapies

to treat brady and tachy arrhythmias.

An external programmer is used to

monitor and access the device

parameters and therapies for each

patient.

In future 2020

Theoretically, a GPS

-enabled chip could one day make it possible forindividualsto be physically located by latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and

direction of movement.

Such implantable GPS devices are notcommercially available atthistime.

However, if widely deployed atsome future point, implantable GPS devices

could conceivably allow authoritiesto locate missing persons and/or fugitives

and those who fled from a crime scene.

Governmentscould use implantstotrack and persecute human rights

activists, dissidents, and political opponents.

criminals and domestic abuserscould use them tostalk and harasstheir

victims;slaveholderscould use them to preventcaptives from escaping; and

child abuserscould use them to locate and abductchildren.

By the year 2020, you won'tneeda keyboardandmouseto control

your computer, say Intel Corp.researchers. Instead, users will open

documents and surfthe Web usingnothingmorethantheir brain

waves

Scientists at Intel's researchlab in Pittsburghare workingto find

ways to readandharness human brain waves so they can be usedto

operate computers, television sets and cellphones. The brain waveswould beharnessed with Intel-developed sensors implantedinpeople's

brains.

Intelresearch scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworldthatusers will soontire ofdepending ona computerinterface, andhaving

to fishadevice out oftheirpocket or bagto access it. Healso predicted

that users willtire ofhavingto manipulateaninterface withtheir

fingers.

Instead, they'll simply manipulatetheirvarious devices withtheir

brains.

1.Cancer :Veterinary and toxicology studiescarried out from 1996 to2006 found that lab mice and ratsinjected with microchipssometimes

developed canceroustumors around the microchips (subcutaneous

sarcomas)..

2.Security risk:Since nearly all implantable microchips areunencrypted, they are extremely vulnerable to being read by third-party

scanners. By scanning secretly, someone could steal the information on a

chip and clone the signal, enabling a hacker toimpersonate a chipped

individual.

3.Societal criticism:Microchip implantin humans have raised newethical discussions by scientific professional forums[clarification needed],[17]

academic groups,[18] human rightsorganizations, government departments

and religious group.
