    Just to remind you of the story published in The Daily LEDder; Jan 34; 2056

    ” Scientists at Human Pharmacology Labs ( HPL ) have succeeded in developing an implantable device that effectively deters subjects from any kind of sexual behavior deemed unnecessary by the subjects guardians. The implantable device detects physiological algorithims generated by the body during sexual excitation, and causes synthetically enginerred chemicals to be released that triggers the fight or flight response. The device, when combined with the recently developed “HumaPhone” automatically sends out a “distress call” to responsible parents and guardians, alerting them of the incident. The Humaphone, another implantable device gives the guardian(s) the option of automatically dispatching an Autocab; or even local Gendarmes to the location of the event. HPL estimates the device will effectively curtail 12% of accidental pregnancies suffered by todays youth.
    Spokesbot; Ella Vaters of HPL says; “The days of worrying about Big Brother having eyes everywhere went out with the 30′s and it’s time society took responsibility for the actions of their offspring. Humanity should Thank Ford for the modern technology, and realize it will also contribute to a reduction in Soma related deaths prevalant amongst Cloniforms.

    MicroApple Industries is scrutinizing the new device in hopes of developing apps that would further utilize the effectivness of their UPhone, and Microdroid communication devices.
