What a turn-on: science develops bionic sex chip
scientists are working on an electronic “sex chip” that will be
able to stimulate pleasure centres in the brain.
The prospect of the chip, which could be a decade away, is emerging from
progress in deep brain stimulation, in which tiny shocks from implanted
electrodes are given to the brain. The technology has been used in America
to treat Parkinson’s disease.
Stimulating this area can produce
pleasure as intense as “devouring a delicious pastry”, he said.
By 2015, he predicts, micro-computers in the brain with a range of
applications could be self-powered and controlled by hand-held transmitters.

years ago a scientist implanted such a device into the brain of a woman with
a low sex drive and turned her into a very sexually active woman
She didn’t
like the sudden change
We are being led to big philosophical questions by rapid technological
advances
If we don’t discuss them now, they may be taking place before we can
resolve the issues
