Putting micro chips in children

[ehart]

is putting a micro chip in a child the best way to keep them safe, or are we just teaching them that the world is much scarier and dangerous than it really is?

I personally dont agree with it, as the methods used to locate missing people would inevitably be taken adavantage of, as some people would find a way of misusing them, and be able track peoples every move, therefore taking away their basic human rights.

[ehart]

i agree with you and there would probably be ways to block the signal or something if someone really set their minds to abducting a child

[Adam]

oh riiigghhhtt.
i was confused for a minute! when i read the subject i had mental images of mothers force feeding their children McCains micro chips!

[Gary T]

u can b so stoopid adam.... and by the sounds of it seriously mentally disturbed!!!!

[Adam]

i was gonna argue with u there. but no... ur right.
i am, by my own admission, one of the dosiest people around.

it seems to me that the world is no longer worth living in if it comes to putting homing beacons inside our children. But it is none the less an interesting topic that is worth a more indepth debate...

[Adam]

yeah! and it seems to me that the world is no longer worth living in if it comes to forcefeeding our children with unhealthy microwavable food!

DOWN WITH THE FRIES!!!!

seriosuly now... i dont think for one minute that putting micro chips into children will stop people abusing children and abducting them./ if anything this will eventually lead to the government being able to track anyone down in a big brother style!!

[Devlinator]

How will they ever learn to be independent, and learn what the dangers are in the world for themselves, as they wont be able to cope when they reach an age when they dont have soemone looking over your shoulder.

[Gary T]

thats the fing but wif these chips there will b sum1 sumwhere watchin them.. where they r etc!

[ehart]

and what's to stop those who monitor children with microchips from abusing the system themselves?

[Gary T]

theres not... it woud prob b found that ppl monitorin the children woud b linked in sum way to any abuse that woud happen

[ehart]

the thing is, there's probably hundreds of child abusers that no one knows about because they weren't reported to anyone so refernce checks from previous employers are useless and so is checking their criminal records as there won't be anything there!

[Gary T]

sounds like a no win situation!!

[Adam]

well. i think the use of microchips in children is wrong. but maybe should be used n soem circumstances when there is no other alternative. like when your mum hasnt been to the shops and thats all that is the freezer.

[elliottsimpson]

police checks are all based on date of birth so a child abuser born on 11th Sept who puts his date of birth as 9/11 would not be found even if (s)he has a police record.

[Gary T]

y is it wif u adam evrythin has to relate bak to food???

[Adam]

not everything. in fact....... not usually either.

[Boogie Man]

now now children this a behaviourlllll control conversation so lets get it back on track shall we? I doubt it will actually happen at least not for many many years, they'll probably legalise cloning first. But the fact is it would be a slap in the face to all human rights by taking away the God givin' right to be a little brat.

Amen.

[Gary T]

mark wot u on bout i had been merely statin th fact that from wot i had seen evrythin adam toked bout seemed to revert bak to food

[elliottsimpson]

heard on the radio today that there's a scheme to put tracker chips into elderly folk - does that raise any other considerations?

[Gary T]

i think the same sort of thing applies... the people monitoring will still be able to abuse their honour/duty and be able to harm the elderly!! plus it will come to a point that a chip will be implanted into everyone and that is just wrong!!!
