3) This sounds hideous, and inhuman
4) This is a disgraceful suggestion. The company does not
own the employees. Slavery was abolished in developed
countries more than 100 years ago. How dare you even
suggest such a thing? You should be ashamed.
5) I absolutely would not allow an employer to implant me
like a ... dog!
6) Animals are microchipped not humans
7) Feel like an experimental animal
8) Seems very robotic
9) No way! We're not pets.
10) Absolutely not! It's insane!

IntRusIveness (InvasIon anD vIolatIon)-
physIcally anD psychologIcally
1) We have no plans to introduce this invasive procedure
2) I would never work for an organization that would require
an RFID, and I sure would never expect or request my current or future employees to be violated like that
3) Invasive both physically and psychologically
4) Invading my bodies privacy
5) Violated
6) I would be reticent, given that there are less intrusive options
7) Against it-too invasive
8) I am totally against this procedure because it is a violation
of one's body and privacy
9) It would be invasive.

Personal privacy concern
Feels a bit like Big Brother
Could be used by outside world, say police
I wouldn't like it-privacy issues
Would feel that Big Brother is watching over me
I feel it would be an invasion of privacy
It would never happen. I think it's a Big Brother theory
and morally and culturally wrong.
I would not do it. I do not like that idea, too Big Brother
It seems too Big Brother to me
It will never happen-I am against this-Big Brother
is here
I am totally against this procedure, because it is a violation of one's body and privacy
Not at all want or like. Too Big Brother.
Do not want to be implanted with anything that gives
away my identity so easily. I would want to be in control
of when how where to disclose my identity.
Feels a bit like Big Brother
It would never happen. I think it's a Big Brother theory
and morally and culturally wrong.

InvasIon of huMan RIghts
1) A total violation of human rights
2) Violation of human rights
3) I would refuse, as I would see it as an invasion of my civil
liberty

4) Should not be implanted as it breaches individual rights.

RelIgIous Issues
1) I do not believe you should put things in your body that
God did not supply you with
2) Don't need it so wouldn't do it. Also religious reasons.
3) I would not want it, I do believe in the mark of the beast in
my religion, and that is getting a little too close to home
for me
4) I would hate it! It goes against all that I believe in.

cultuRal Issues
1) Too sophisticated for our community
2) I would hate it! It goes against all that I believe in.
3) There will be division between those who have implants
for ID and those have who have the current technology
for ID.
4) It would never happen. I think it's a Big Brother theory
and morally and culturally wrong.

health Issues
1) Maybe there is an issue with occupational health and
safety
2) Health implications: 1) Do we know everything about side
effects? 2) Maintenance, isn't repairing/replacing/upgrading
a lot more impractical?
3) I would be against it. There are too many health issues
that are still unaddressed when it comes to implanting a
foreign object in one's body.
4) Would not allow it. Health risks due to chronic disease. I
have severe rheumatoid arthritis.
5) I would worry about possible health issues
6) It could cause health issues-it is not for everyone
7) I do not feel anything for this implant of RFID because it
can harm the human body.

cosMetIc Issues
1) Wouldn't want another scar on body
2) Personally, I won't entertain because of the marks left on
the skin.

InconvenIence
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

I would feel extremely uncomfortable with this
Feel that it is an imposition
I do not think I would be too pleased about it
Be bothered and uncomfortable
Very much complicated.

unwaRRanteD
1) Strongly against: there is no need for it
2) I am not against this type of device, but I would not use
it simply for business security
3) Unnecessary
4) Small enterprises/offices do not need it
5) Not needed
6) Not relevant
