*Although he admits it “sounds blatantly authoritarian” and “violates just
about every core value we possess in a free society,”* a noted
transhumanist author has said *a world government body should forcibly
sterilize anyone “deemed unworthy” of parenthood* by using implanted
microchips.
Constitutional attorney and civil liberties expert John W. Whitehead,
founder of The Rutherford Institute, warned *LifeSiteNews.com* earlier this
year that political officials would long to use this seminal technology.
In an article for Wired.com today, philosopher Zoltan Istvan wrote that the
notion first crossed his mind when he heard a blonde nurse say, *“with
10,000 kids dying everyday around the world from starvation, you'd think
we'd put birth control in the water.”*
After careful thought, in an effort to “give hundreds of millions of future
kids a better life,* I cautiously endorse the idea of licensing parents*,”
Istvan wrote today.
The process, he said, “*would be little different than getting a driver's
license*.” *Parents must “pass a series of basic tests” in order to “get
the green light to get pregnant and raise children.”*
“Those applicants who are deemed unworthy” for a variety of reasons – *he
lists homelessness, criminal history, and poverty among his examples* –
“would not be allowed until they could demonstrate they were suitable
parents.”
However, he questions how far governments would go to enforce its birth
control mandate. *“Would governments force abortion upon mothers if they
were found to be pregnant without permission?”* he asked, *saying the idea
seems “unimaginable in most societies around the world*.” *(He apparently
hasn't heard of China's one-child policy.)*
Istvan writes that he finds “near-term hope” in a contraceptive
technology funded
by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a remote-controlled injectable
microchip that could effectively sterilize someone for up to 16 years.
“The implanted microchip lasts for up to 16 years -- three times current
implantable devices, including IUDs -- and can deliver hormones into the
body via an on-off switch on your mobile phone,” he wrote. *“It's not a
huge jump to imagine governments seeing opportunity in using this.”*
However, *due to the national government's spotty record on fiscal and
other issues,* *he believes its control should be outsourced to a world
government*. “Perhaps a nonprofit entity like the World Health Organization
might be able to step in,” he wrote, adding WHO's participation would
inspire “more confidence.”
The concept of a birth licenses, even those run by the United Nations, is
not new. Istvan *noted the support of ethics professor Hugh LaFollette and
Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb*.

Science and Technology Policy
*The Ehrlichs co-authored the 1977 book Ecoscience with current Obama
Science Czar John Holdren
<http://therightswriter.com/2009/02/obamas-biggest-radical/>.* *They
endorsed a “comprehensive planetary regime” to control fertility*, adding
that “compulsory population-control laws,* even* *including laws requiring
compulsory abortion*, could be sustained under the existing constitution if
the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the
society.” *President
Obama recently said he relies on Holdren
<http://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/obama-i-rely-on-population-control-fanatic-who-supports-forced-abortion-in>
to formulate his science policy.*
*The concept of government-regimented reproduction was also supported by
Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger some 80 years ago.* Sanger wrote
in a column for America Weekly in March 1934 that even then it may have “become
necessary to establish a system of birth permits.”

Istvan believes new technology *places their dream closer than ever to
reality*. Pre-clinical testing of the new microchip begins next year. A
development team at the Massachusetts-based MicroCHIPS Inc. hopes to
introduce the product by 2018, pending approval by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA).
