Indonesia's Papua Plans To Tag AIDS Sufferers

I don't like where this is heading:

JAYAPURA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesia's Papua province is set to pass a bylaw that requires some HIV/AIDS patients to be implanted with microchips in a bid to prevent them infecting others, a lawmaker said on Saturday.

Under the bylaw, which has caused uproar among human rights activists, patients who had shown "actively sexual behavior" could be implanted with a microchip to monitor their activity, lawmaker John Manangsang said.

"It's a simple technology. A signal from the microchip will track their movements and this will be received by monitoring authorities," Manangsang said.

If a patient with HIV/AIDS was found to have infected a healthy person, there would be a penalty, he said without elaborating.

It always starts off with a minority group, a voiceless weak target and it grows from there. Not to be an alarmist but Radio Frequency ID [RFID] tagging in people is already happening here. Mostly old people and young people. Google it.
