Want this job? Well, have this brainscan first!

Feb 22, 2009 00:26

Professor Willem Verbeke from Erasmus Medical Centre (big hospital in Rotterdam) says that a fucking BRAINSCAN should be part of a job application, in order to find out if someone's psychotic/autisic/otherwise mentally disabled.

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.

Here's an idea: *hands out diagnose + phone number of psychologist* DONE.

Holy fuck, that man is ( Read more... )

Isn't it also like.. invasion of privacy? :/. Illegal, and stuff? Beh.

If this goes through, people will be tested for fucking everything, like AIDS and shit, there's a BIG reason why that isn't a part of a job application, because it's fucking illegal and reeks of Nazi übermensch crap.

I think the brainscan thing is a bit of paranoia-of-the-future. There is no way this thing will go through with current technology ( ... )

I copy pasted the article, for clarity. His logic is retared. With his logic, we should not have any privacy at all, because only then, we can truly prevent things.

My brain is my own.

You have a brain? Can't get a job with one of those, you know. Get rid of it. They want only brainless drones. :)

Someone needs to send him a copy of 1984.

Ik zou verwachten dat de wetenschap nog niet zo ver is.
En daarnaast is het sowieso illegaal.
Ik bedoel, een werkgever mag niet eens vragen aan een vrouw of ze van plan is later zwanger te worden.

WTH?! If this would go through with 5, 10 or 20 years... I have no chance of a job anywhere. Of course they wouldnt know because I would simply refuse this.

You and me both.

THAT'S DISCRIMINATORY!

Pardon the caps. I have a "disability" myself, and I'll be damned if someone would be able to view my medical data, which is CONFIDENTIAL, as a part of a frigging JOB APPLICATION.

No.
