Personally I do not believe that implanting computer chips is a good idea to put into children or teenagers because there could be many health risks to it. I understand that parents want to have their children safe but they could keep them safe in a different way. Even though little children do not know any better I feel as though putting computer chips into there body is taking away their own rights. If at a young age they are taken away there rights they wont know better when they are older.  If there was a bill in Congress to require ID chips in children under the age of 5 I would not support it because parents should not have to have chips in their children to know where they are. We have gone many years without computer chips why have them now? I would still not agree to have a senior who has Alzheimer’s to have a computer chip put into there body because it could possibly have worse side effects. I do feel as though in this circumstance if the family agrees to it have a GPS shoe but nothing implanted into his or her body. I feel as though everyone should have the right to his or her own privacy.

  1. I agree Amanda I dont think kids should be implanted with computer chips. We have already proven we can survive pretty well without them. I actually wrote that if a child was below 5 it may be okay to plant a chip considering circumstances. However, after reading your post about how parents should know where their kid is if theyre under 5, i changed my mind. I would not support that bill. For seniors with Alzheimers I cant see how one would justify putting a chip in them either. Maybe if they were living alone or something. But i have worked at a nursing home for 3 years and usually they dont get to far. I think this should maybe be an option people have in the future but not a violation of someones rights. Wouldnt it be cool to have a map of everywhere youve been in life on earth? It could turn surveilance into a checklist during life. Bit of a tangent there, but just a thought.
