Why human microchipping is so popular in Sweden | ITV News

Carrying credit cards, oyster cards - even your house keys or ID - will soon become a thing of the past if bio-hackers get their way.

Around 4,000 people in Sweden have already been 'chipped' and some organisations say implants could be on their way to the UK.

ITV On Assignment's Rebecca Barry attends an implant party where the biohacking curious gather and the committed are then chipped with the latest flashing implant.

Is this the beginning of a bright future, where chips will one day be able to diagnose and foresee health problems? Or is it a way to keep an ever-closer eye on human movements?
