You should have seen the person presented as a victim/witness of this. I have _NO_ intent to be cruel or insult people with mental health issues but the congress critter who brought this poor woman up to testify did not do much screening of her as a valuable aid to his cause. She presented herself as a serious "voices in the head" person.<br>
<br>Thus the "laughing-stock" status of Georgia was once again strengthened.<br><br>On the otherside of this is the potential to do chip implants for the sex-crime convicts after they serve there term as a means of tracking them at all times.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">While I agree with many in that forum that this probably wasn’t
the best use of Legislature time I don’t agree that this is only “science
fiction”. It really wouldn’t be that hard to do such implants in
a person that was under general anesthesia for some other surgery. Of course
having all the doctors complicit in something that didn’t earn them money
seems unlikely. </span></font></p>

several states that have outlawed use of DNA as a screening tool for insurance
or jobs. Of course the movie Gattaca suggests there would be ways to avoid
strict adherence to such laws.</span></font></p>
