The nurse in me loves the idea of a chip for these reasons. I personally like the GPS/LoJack idea for people....think of the kids and elderly we could locate, hopefully before such horrible tragedies like what happened to "marlenemaria's" momma. If I had a child that was abducted, I dont care WHAT kind of information they gathered off that chip, as long as they could retrieve my child before he was murdered.......I also think when every single baby is born in this country, DNA should be gathered and filed, along with the prints that are taken. Then, later, any dead body found on the road, in a field, on the beach, in cars, etc could instantly be identified....imagine the relief or sense of closure for the family, whose family member has gone missing, and a body has been found....that body can be ID'd almost immediately.....I have really tried to think of any and all situations where me or anyone in my family should fear such a chip and the gathering of this information contained in them...I guess we live such transparent existances....I can not think of any information that would be contained on such a chip, as anything that needs hiding from anyone.....when I think of all the good that could be garnered from such a chip, it out weighs any negatives.....
