New Obama plan calls for implanted computer chips to help U.S. troops heal

The project is headed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a Pentagon agency that develops a variety of high-tech equipment for the U.S. military. It’s known as the Electrical Prescriptions program, or ElectRx (pronounced “electrics”). Program officials say the goal is to develop a technology that could help people heal more quickly through the use of biosensors and electromagnetic devices that control human organs.

“Instead of relying only on medication, we envision a closed-loop system that would work in concept like a tiny, intelligent pacemaker,” said Doug Weber, the program’s manager. “It would continually assess conditions and provide stimulus patterns tailored to help maintain healthy organ function, helping patients get healthy and stay healthy using their body’s own systems.”

One of the age old sayings yet applies once again here... "what could possibly go wrong?" One modification to the software by an enemy could render the entire project a failure or give the enemy the same advantage. It seems for every step they take forward the potential for catastrophic consequences also takes a giant leap forward.
