Jde-li o život, nejde o statistiku
Virginie, USA, Dolní komora Parlamentu státu Virginie, 2010, (Rd)
10. února 2010 schválila dolní komora Parlamentu amerického státu Virginie zákon (88 zastupitelů1 bylo pro, jen 9 proti a 1 nehlasoval), jehož účelem bylo chránit občany před možnými nekalými praktikami zástupců pojišťoven a před takovými zaměstnavateli, kteří by požadovali po svých pojištěncích/zaměstnancích trvalou identifikaci například formou implantace mikročipu nebo jiných technologických řešení a mohli by tak třeba sledovat pohyb lidských bytostí, vyhodnocovat informace z jejich privátního života, zpřísňovat díky tomu podmínky smluvních vztahů apod. Každý takový jednotlivý čin by byl potrestán pokutou 500 amerických dolarů, které by šly do fondu na podporu literatury. V březnu 2010 ovšem byla výše uvedená legislativa neúspěšně projednávána v Senátu a zde také zůstala až dodnes.
Autor a předkladatel zákona Mark L. Cole2 zvolený za republikánskou stranu3 navíc vyjádřil ve sdělovacích prostředcích své obavy z „čipování“ na základě etických, náboženských a zdravotních důvodů svých voličů. Colem navržená legislativa měla také zabránit nejhorším formám zneužití nových technologií a umožnit občanům svobodu v rozhodování o svých životech.
