From here:
Helped along by one of the world’s most notable billionaires, a U.S. firm is developing a tiny implant that acts as a contraceptive for 16 years — and can be turned on or off using a remote control.
The birth control microchip, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, would hold nearly two decades worth of a hormone commonly used in contraceptives and dispense 30 micrograms a day, according to a report from the MIT Technology Review.
The new birth control, which is set to begin preclinical testing next year with hopes of putting it on shelves in 2018, can be implanted in the buttocks, upper arm or abdomen.
The possibilities are endless: roll on the remote-controlled abortion chip; the euthanasia chip; the euthanasia chip hacking kit. I can’t wait.
To be followed by a rash of lawsuits from pregnancies when the user butt-dialed her squeeze to arrange a tryst and the system shut down her protection.
