Accepting the 'Mark of the Beast' ..... for the convenience of a drink?

A number of VIP clubbers at a Barcelona nightclub have been implanted with a chip in their upper arm. But, as Andrew Losowsky reports, the potential uses of the technology could be wide ranging

Two months ago, Baja announced it would be the first nightclub in the world to offer their VIPs something more than a gold-plated entry card. Those who wanted it could have a microchip implanted under their skin. The chip not only guarantees entry but provides access to a debit account from which they can pay for drinks.

"If the government offered this as a choice, saying you can put your ID card, your social security card and your credit card away and just have this, I'd sign immediately," he says. "I wouldn't have to carry around my wallet. If I need to go to hospital, even if I'm unconscious, they could just scan and get my records."

Sinister or not, its use at Baja Beach Club seems in keeping with the surroundings. "It's very suitable for this kind of place, because it's so body-aware," says René Lönngren, who runs the Barcelona e-magazine Le cool. "In an atmosphere where it is all muscles/tits/bodies, people are attracted by the superficiality. And these kinds of people will be interested in having a chip inside them, paying special attention to their bodies."
