Implantable temperature sensor

Not sure how up to date people are with Steve Haworth and Grindhouse Wetware's current project.
They
are still stress testing it however it looks like it could be something
that could stay implanted at least for a few years presuming the
batteries are able to keep the abuse of constant recharging considering
it is Bluetooth which can be a decent drain on a battery.

Now I'm curious, though: what are the downsides of butt implants?

I found this link as well. "Intended" for animals however I can't see why this couldn't work out in our favor even more. Unless someone designs something new it will use their little reader to give intel about the body.
I read that it normally is placed in the shoulders of animals. Considering the size would it be realistic to implant in our shoulder as well or would it just be better to stick it in the hand like most other readers?
Also building RFID based circuits like that is rather easy: http://scanlime.org/2008/09/using-an-avr-as-an-rfid-tag/ the link appears to be offline atm, but maybe archive.org will do the trick. The simplest version is just an attiny + inductor. Externally powering an implant can be a quite acceptable for prototyping.
I normally take the same approach with my body as I do when working on a network. Asking the big WHY question before adding anything that is not essential.
