Stealth sharks to patrol the high seas

An article from New Scientist is suggesting that engineers and scientists are working to implant chips into sharks so that they can be controlled remotely by humans to navigate the seas for military purposes.

"Imagine getting inside the mind of a shark: swimming silently through the ocean, sensing faint electrical fields, homing in on the trace of a scent." That's what the Pentagon wants to do, says New Scientist. By remotely guiding the sharks' movements using a newly designed neural implant, the military hope to transform the animals into stealth spies."

Completely insane!
