Scientists have no boundaries. In the name of healing they create the potentially dangerous items. What prevents these same implants for being used without consent during surgery, and then to control or to harm or to kill undesirable persons. Have the genes of psychiatrists been cleansed of mendacity, greed and sadism? Will medical examiners look for these devices when they do autopsies?
[From article]
A report in the Frontier in Behavioural Neuroscience journal by Mariska Mantione and colleagues describe the case of “Mr B”, a 58-year-old Dutch man who had suffered severe obsessive-compulsive disorder from the age of 13.
As a last resort he was given deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain.

The question is, what might we do with such microimplants? Both heart and brain pacemakers (for Alzheimer’s) are the obvious first port of call. Beyond that, though, microimplants would make great sensors; you could implant them all over your body (brain, heart, liver, gut) and have them regularly report that organ’s health back to your doctor (or smartphone app). As we begin to learn more about the brain, we might attach these implants to specific nerve channels in the brain, to boost or degrade specific neuron behavior
