The state almost certainly shouldn’t be spending the money to implant this in
everyone, I’d rule it out for that reason. But on pure medical grounds, no,
people have a right to bodily autonomy, it is unethical to make such a thing
mandatory. If a life insurance company were to offer reduced premiums to people
willing to have such a sensor, that would be fine.
The comma after "no" is quite important. I missed it in my first reading
and got confused when I got to the text after the next comma.
My insurance company has given me the option to let them monitor my
driving which I accepted. If I drive carefully, the premium will be
reduced. I score 8 out of ten with my normal driving.
