Bill Gates is funding an effort to tattoo it into your skin [1].
At best, Mr. Gates is dangerously naive, assuming that because he has good intentions, governments will never abuse his idea for evil purposes.
Governments' track record on this subject is not great.
(The last time a government tried to tattoo a unique identifier into a large number of people, it was the Nazis. They wanted to keep track of Jews and other undesirables, so they could more efficiently be run through the systematic processes of captivity, enslavement and mass murder.)
