I see more and more reports and documentaries getting released about people who get their keycards inplanted in their hand to get in their work building.
What is your opinion about this "biohacking"
I have a friend with diabetes and he has a chip on top of his skin to check his blood-sugar levels, and he said the inplants aren't there yet for diabetes.

Nope - But within maybe 20-30 years the majority will have some kind of chip. Then at some point, parents will have the option to implant them at birth. Countries like China will mandate them at birth, western countries might follow, but it would be awhile later
I don't know, I could be an enthusiastic yes or a firm no depending on a number of things. For one thing, is whatever software running on the chip interoperable? If I can't move whatever service the chip operates to another company I don't want it.
Secondly, is there some sort of DRM junk blocking my ability to view the software running on the chip? If I don't have a right to repair the device, I don't want it.
Lastly, do I live in a country (and does the chipmaker have a physical presence in the same jurisdiction) that has serious privacy statutes on the books that have meaningful penalties for corporate misuse and block law enforcement and intelligence agency backdoors? If not, no thanks.
I have no issue with getting a chip put into myself if it does something actually useful. As for an NFC chip for my payment card. No way, It's kind of cool as a novelty at the moment. However, there are much easier ways to do this, like the apple watch or something similar. It's just not necessary and the only reason to get it is that cool factor, which honestly I do not even think is cooler than an apple watch. That chip will also expire in a few years and be rendered useless.
