"Tattoo to monitor diabetes

Scientists are developing a smart tattoo that could tell diabetics when
their glucose levels are dangerously low.

Once perfected, the tattoo will allow glucose levels to be monitored round
the clock, and could allow an alarm system that would warn the diabetic if
their glucose levels were to fall."

Sure, that's what it STARTS with.

Then convicted drunk drivers get tattooes that tell everyone around them
when they're drinking too much.

Then PARENTS start giving their kids the MARK OF THE BEAST so that they
will KNOW if the kid takes any dope ...

AND THEN ...???

"Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious
feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed
in crime, perversion, and insanity."
--HP Lovecraft, letter to Robert E. Howard 10/4/30
