Should grandpa be microchipped?
'Chipping Fido is considered an act of love. Chipping Grandpa, however, has been described as "Orwellian," "creepy" and even “satanic."
Regardless, human "tagging" was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004 to make it easier to retrieve medical records [No, as a step to universal microchipping at birth]. An estimated 2,000 people worldwide have volunteered to have tiny RFID (radio frequency identification) chips embedded just below the tricep, including 111 dementia patients and their caregivers at Alzheimer's Community Care in West Palm Beach, Fla.'
It's worth reading the comments about this article to see just how easy it is for the few to control the many: 'I would welcome a microchip that could be updated by a quick visit to my doctors
office. I would also bet that there are people out there who would have a chip
implanted (with a GPS) if they knew they had early stage Alzheimers.'
Early stage stupidity is a much bigger threat to human wellbeing.
