My Location Tracking Opinion

I would support the law to put ID chips in children under the of 5. In case that child got abducted, or they got lost they could be easier to find. The parents have the right to know where their small child is because the child certainly cannot fend for themselves at this age. I do believe that senior citizens that are living in a nursing home should have an ID chip put in them. Especially those with Alzheimer's should have an ID chip because they could forget where they are. Those senior citizens need to be located as fast as possible so they don't harm themselves or others. The downside to having this ID chips would be that anybody could find anybody with the right resources. Hackers and pedophiles could find small children if they just hacked into the system with all the locations of everybody with an ID chip. I think the GPS Shoes is a good start to see how location tracking will work in everyday life.

  1. I could not support a law that would require placing ID chips in children. I worry about the complication rate of anesthesia, infection and rejection rates, pain and suffering involved in an elective procedure. I am not in favor of government ever dictaing mandatory surgical procedures. I think we should leave politics to the politicians and medicine to the doctors.

  2. I disagree with this post as well. The way I see it, if a kid gets a location ship, he's not just going to get rid of it. This means that they will be stuck with a chip inside of them, without their own consent. Also, after reading Cindy's comment, again, she made a good point. I am not in favor of the government dictating mandatory procedures.

  3. I do not support the law of putting a tracking chip in children under 5 years old. They are at the age where they are developing and growing, inserting a chip in their body will not only affect that, but it might also trigger other medical conditions such as cancer at a later age. Parents need to learn to trust their children and let them experience on their own.

  4. I do not support the idea of putting tracking chips in children, even if they are 5 or younger, and are not able to take care of themselves. Those children are at an age where they are developing and growing, inserting a chip in their body might not only damage their physical development, but also their behavioral development as well. Parents need to learn to trust that their kids are going to be safe, and they need to learn to let them experience on their own.
