Do You Know Where Your Child Is? Every Second?
Human Microchip Implant
Neilisha P. Charles
Kidnappers, be aware! The advent of Human Microchip Implantation, which was approved
by the Food and Drug Administration since 2004, gives us the
opportunity to protect our children exceptionally. This is the
genius behind Human Microchip
Implantation. This futuristic
piece of technology can help us
track our kids, allowing parents
to be able to reach their children
easily in cases of emergencies.
That is, if our children are lost,
injured and helpless or kidnapped.
Parents can not only use microchips
to track their kids, but they can also
allow for their kids’ medical records
to readily available in times of
emergencies. With the surge of Human Trafficking of children, microchip technology would be a definite
solution. Some may see it as invading the child’s privacy, but which
parent won’t have ‘a piece of mind’
knowing that their child is safe.
Technology is advancing every day;
why not use it to make life easier for
us parents. Microchips and other
Radio-Frequency Identification De-
vices (RFID) have been imbedded in pets
and attached to items in order to track
them for years. VeriChip is one; it's been
sold in the US since 2002 and was approved for implantation in humans by the
FDA in 2004, in spite of the fact that tests
from the mid-1990s showed that the implanted microchips had "induced" cancer
in laboratory animals, with most of the
tumors encasing the implants. By 2007,
about 2,000 of the devices had been implanted in humans around the world. This
is a possible option in Trinidad and Tobago’s fight to protect our children.
