Human information and communication technology (ICT) implants have
developed for many years in a medical context. Such applications
have become increasingly advanced, in some cases modifying
fundamental brain function. Today, comparatively low-tech implants
are being increasingly employed in non-therapeutic contexts, with
applications ranging from the use of ICT implants for VIP entry
into nightclubs, automated payments for goods, access to secure
facilities and for those with a high risk of being kidnapped.
Commercialisation and growing potential of human ICT implants have
generated debate over the ethical, legal and social aspects of the
technology, its products and application. Despite stakeholders
calling for greater policy and legal certainty within this area,
gaps have already begun to emerge between the commercial reality of
human ICT implants and the current legal frameworks designed to
regulate these products. This book focuses on the latest
technological developments and on the legal, social and ethical
implications of the use and further application of these
technologies.
