HIV Carriers Face Microchip Implants in Indonesia's Papua Province


Some carriers of HIV would be implanted with microchips under a bill backed by legislators in the Indonesian province of Papua.
John Manangsang, a Papua MP, said that by implanting computer chips beneath the skin of "sexually aggressive" patients authorities would be in a better position to identify, track and punish anyone who deliberately infected others. Those convicted could face up to six months in jail or a £3,340 fine.
The proposed legislation has received backing from the provincial parliament and a majority vote is expected. If approved it would be enacted next month, Manangsang said.
