Yeah, There's no way I'd let a microchip under my skin.

"If you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresisting-ly allow itself to be boiled to death."

(Also yes, for those of you pedantic enough I'm aware the story is not biologically accurate, but the metaphor remains valid)
