Summary/Abstract: As technology progresses, an increasing number of individuals are opting for medical procedures that involve the implantation of electronic devices within their bodies. These procedures range from sophisticated prosthetics like cochlear implants to unregulated RFID circuits embedded in people’s limbs, carrying personal data. However, these procedures can pose health and privacy hazards. The absence of a standardized legal framework could potentially lead to detrimental outcomes. This paper reviews current legislation and ethical considerations related to smart implants.
