Implantable identifiers

   A few years ago, I saw a movie that is related to this issue. In that movie, powerful artificial intelligent robots control the human being. Every person has a microchip in their body since robots put it in when people are just born. they collect all information about a person with by using the chip. they know where people is, what people do. In reality, what if we have same situation like this? The government could be the "robot" in our society now. Or just individual could be the "robot" as planting the microchip to animals. Do the government have the right to do it? Is it justified when we do it to animals?
   In these days, some people plant the microchip to their animals to know where they are. I think it is good way to manage their animals. However, when it comes to human, it will become different. Unlike the animal, human being has the human rights and privacy. Therefore, it has to be very careful planting the chip to human body. It could results in the problem of the privacy invasion or human rights, even though it is to secure security for people. However, there are not only drawbacks on this issue. It could prevent the child from kidnapping, it could decrease the missing child rate. There are both side in this issue.
   Personally, I agree with planting the microchip to the young children who are below 5 years old. As I mentioned above, It will help prevent kidnapping and find the missing children. The young have no ability to protect themselves yet. I think that when we are saying the young children who are below 5 years old, the safety outweigh the privacy. They don't even know what the privacy yet. They need help. Therefore, if the government proceed the policy about planting the microchip to the young, I would agreed that policy.

  1. Hi!

    I totally agree that implanting chips into humans as they do to animals is irrational. We as humans are different from animals and thus deserve to be treated differently not as animals are.

    As animals are being tracked without their consent and are being controlled without will, we as humans deserve better respect and treatment as humans are not at the level of animals.

    Thus, very nice opinions!

    Charlotte.

  2. Hi there,
    I understand your idea and we have slightly different opinions. I would support the government if they were about to propose the use of tracker system to track children under 5 years old if they did not use implanted chip. There must be another method to track children without putting an object under their skin.

  3. Hi Wonjune,
    I see what you are saying, but how do you think the children would react knowing that there are chips planted to their body after they grow up? Wouldn't they feel that they privacy rights are violated?

  4. I disagree with your opinion. Although some will lose their privacy, they can enjoy the safety well. As we know, making a living is the most important thing for humans. If we can continue living, we just have right to say anything else. Similarly, american government monitor residents' lives for their safety.

  7. I agree with your opinion that safety is more important than privacy but chips may influence your safety by another aspect which people are easy to ignore. The offenders may do somethings more cruel to you in order to get your information.
