So A friend just told me that she got a chip installed in her that keeps documents of her medical records. Sounds to me like she got an RFID chip. Course shes a sheep and thinks that its not a tracking device and its just for medical records but I know better. Anyone else get one of these chips yet? She lives in Idaho.

Ok so let me juts clear things up. This is an edit. I only just found out she had a chip so at first I thought she got it recently but then I asked her when sand she said she had gotten it 4 years ago. I still think its something to report about though. Also it was voluntary but she got it because they told her it will make it easier to see her medical history. So yes she did have a choice. Also it was put into her arm and not her hand. So for people that think its a hand implant its not. Sorry for the confusion everyone.

I know of someone with a very horrible medical record who received one.....
Sorry, I would rather wear a bracelet with key major facts!

First you NEED it, for your own safety!
Then you MUST have it, or your med insurance wont cover you.
Then on every street corner there'll be a lottle box that reads the chip evey time you walk past.

And so it begins My teenage son came home from school last week telling me about how awesome the new medichip will be, no more money, being able to track criminals, being able to find abducted children, having all your information in one spot, and just overall convienance it will bring to modern society. Wow!! I couldn't believe it! Did they tell you about the negatives to it? He seemed confused but after a 20 minute long conversation with mom he was well aware of its seriousness and implications. It made me sick to stomach that they are already beginning to introduce these ideas in our public school system.

Well apparently she got it 4 years ago. Which means everyone else should be getting them soon.

I remember hearing about RFID chips in highscool (over 10 years ago). It's not a new idea and they have been improving them and implanting them in people for years. Mythbusters even did an episode where they tested if the chips would rip out of you in a CAT scan or MRI machine.

It's scary to think about how they are brain washing children into thinking that it's for their own good and will make things better for "everyone". I guess they forgot to tell them that "everyone" only includes the people with power, watching what you do and where you go.

my heads spinning now. the thought just makes me sick.

This is the tactic they will use. They will try and promote all the "positives" of a system while glazing over or omitting the entire elimination of privacy or freedom. They will always try and rationalize it as "its for your own good" or "for your own protection".

I will reject and revolt if they ever make them compulsory.

I wish there were more mothers like you. Good work.

i don't really see the problem.
'chipping' humans has far more pro's than con's i think.

i can't think of any negative aspects to this.

I'm kind of surprised this thread is getting replies considering there is absolutely no information or proof and the OP contradicted themselves.

I can think of very valid reasons to get a chip. Of course I would take issue with it being required for medical care/anything else really but if it was an option that would ensure the best possible treatment or keep track of certain things that would otherwise be a huge hassle I wouldn't take issue.

Your cell phone and internet dealings are a far easier way to track you. Chipping everyone would be a huge HUGE expenditure and having some active tracking system would make it worse. Hey if it starts happening I'm going to pitch a fit, I just don't think that every little piece of technology has some nefarious ulterior purpose.

Beyond the simple fact that none of these chips will ever be 100% secure or unhackable? Would you really trust all your personal information, details and finances to a piece of technology that could be stolen anywhere, anytime all without your knowledge?

Just wait until someone clones YOUR chip and starts robbing banks!!!

I tried to put it pass me that this wouldn't happen but now it s.eems very few people are getting it. They said it's for medical purpose but Im really wondering if its a cover for Dhs and Fema to keep track on you?
