Human Microchip Implant

A human microchip implant is an integrated circuit device, a RFID tag, encased in silicate glass and implanted into a human's body. Such implants are used for information storage, such as personal identification, medical history, medication allergies, and contact information. If the implant is GPS-enabled, it makes it possible for individuals to be physically located by latitude, longitude, speed, and direction of movement. Verichip is one of the devices used for this purpose.

 Theoretically, such a tracking function could aid authorities in locating missing persons, fugitives, etc… The tracking function could also be used to identify criminals at the scene of a crime and as well as locating those who have fled the scene of the crime.
 Great potential to improve the lives of paralyzed individuals.
 Track people's movements and even their bank accounts with these chips is now being publicly acknowledged.

    In 2012, citizens in the United States incurred 47.3% of global fraud. Imagine being one of the 47% who nearly lost everything (Vanderhoof, 213).

    The first flaw is the issue with the GPS ankle bracelets that all sex offenders will be required to wear. In order to track sex offenders, the GPS devices needs to be charged nightly. If an offender is determined to evade the law, they could simply let the battery run down or even cut it off. "Its really naive to think that this is going to solve the problem." Attorney Stein states. "GPS devices can be easily removed," he says, " they 're not encased in kryptonite." Even the device sometimes fails. GPS technology is not effective in indoor places like a large mall, building or stadium, or outdoors in a canyon like environment.…

    No matter how hard a person tries, no records will ever be 100 percent safe (Thede, 2010). The United States technology is ever changing and as the U.S. progresses hopefully the security will become more efficient. The dark era is coming to end because there was no evidence of safeguarding patient records. Moreover, paper records were causing a significant increase with health insurance payouts. Compared to other countries, the U.S. is lagging behind in the health care system. It’s hard to believe that once a powerful country could lag behind a healthcare system that Americans utilize every day. Privacy is up most importance, but in order for continuity of care to be equal across all health care providers is even more important than safeguarding a particular diagnosis that one might be ashamed of having.…
