Would you microchip your son or daughter?

[ManaMinori 4,145]

Microchips in pets has always bothered me. I feel it's just one step closer to RFID implants in people (which I know, is already being done) to use to buy/sell things, and will become mandatory, eventually, for everyone, because Illuminati.

 

So the question is, would you microchip your kids? If you do it for pets, who are family members as well, then what's the difference with chipping your kid? Where do you draw the line?

[Member Berry 1,217]

My dogs are microchipped, so was my cat. My cat went missing for a couple of weeks and the only reason we got him back was because of the chip. Some lady found him, took him to the vets and they phoned us up.

 

It would help find a lot of missing/kidnapped children and therefore save a lot of vulnerable lives. If it was the norm in the future then I guess I would have it done to my potential kids. I obviously wouldn't want my kids to go missing or get kidnapped. If it was mandatory then I'd have no choice in the matter.

 

They could use it for more harmful things but the question is will the pros of having it done outweigh the cons? I can't answer that right now as it's purely speculation.

No, that is a disgusting breach of privacy of your children and its a great way to destroy your relationship with your son/daughter if he/she ever finds out. I can understand the safety concerns, but its gonna be a helluva awkward situation telling your son/daughter they have a chip in their head when they turn 18.

My dog isn't microchipped. I'd never microchip my kids, that's too extreme. Maybe in the future where all humans need to be chipped and it becomes the norm but not now, or in the near future can I see children chipped like animals. A simple smart watch GPS tracker would be the furthest I'd go. The whole microchip thing is also giving me Kingsmen vibes xp

Only if the microchips can hack amiibos.

[Vulcan 3,255]

Only when they include GPS ( I believe they currently don't) and that they manufacture it in a way that is not noticeable, which I would use solely if they ever got lost or were kidnapped. I know it's a breach of privacy knowing where they are at all times, but if I were a parent It'd at least give me relief knowing that if something terrible happens, I can still find them.

If it were me, I'd probly' tell them when they're like 10 and explain to them why it's important. Also , the chips aren't implanted in the head, last I heard, they're usually done in the arm or hand .

I don't plan on having kids, so I don't plan on doing this.

I probably should have mentioned that in my post. I watch a lot of crime documentaries online which include a lot of child abduction documentaries. I think I'm more paranoid about stuff like that than others.

[Kiri 7,290]

If I ever have children, I would never have them microchipped. I don't agree with it morally, and wouldn't even do that to my pets.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,801]

If I ever decided to have kids, this would never be a thing I would even consider. That is some nonsense that the government would do and I want to have no part of it.

And it's not like it isn't removable, either. If human microchips actually become a thing, for medical purposes and such it should be in a place where it doesn't get in the way of diagnostics and surgery, and it can be easily removed in some way. 

[silvadel 1,393]

I thought this purpose was served by cell phones.

[KiraTakahashi 748]

If I had kids I don't think I could right now.

[Sketchy Tail 206]

I don't plan on having kids, so probably not.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

No. I wouldn't even microchip my pet.

[simba86 1,541]

no, there is no need to because you can track there cell phones and they would die without having it with them 24/7

[Vulcan 3,255]

Why would you choose not to though? , Not trying to change your decision but just curious as to your reasoning behind it ^ ^  

[AaronMk 280]

Hell ya, gotta tell if my future daughteru is banging that dumb-ass kid from down the street. Gotta know when I'm deploying the 20-gauge.

[Invincible 2,092]

I would totally do it. Maybe myself too.

 

Seriously, this "hurr durr illuminati" thing has got to be the most ridiculous argument I've heard. The illuminati (even if it's real), or any government agency with the smallest bit of technical know-how probably knows enough about you without getting under your skin (literally). Think about it: the internet, smartphones, credit-cards.. all can be used to track you down within seconds and know what kind of a person you are.

 

You're being watched 24/7, like it or not. Nobody needs you microchipped to watch you. Most people just aren't very interesting to watch.

 

On the other hand biological implants can provide early infection warnings, cancer screening, send SOS signals.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,442]

No. I will find another way to make their lives miserable though. I'm thinking Silent Film Sunday, where I just force them to binge watch Birth of a Nation for no other reason than I feed off misery.

 

Or I can just have them watch Paul Blart 2 once.

[Leave a Whisper 703]

Pets, why should I? A collar and tag with my address and phone number is just fine and it's neither expensive or intrusive.

 

Kids-Gross breach of privacy and ethics. If I wouldn't have it done to me, why should I do it to someone else?

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303]

This application for technology sounds like an excuse for someone not to actually watch their children.

[Guac 25]

The illuminati (even if it's real), 

the illuminati do not exist anymore. they were a group of scientists and thinkers from ages ago.

they only gained a negative reputation because most people back then were extremely religious.

No way. I would never microchip my own future children (even on myself). I find microchipping human beings will make them be treated like animals, and therefore lose sense of independence, freedom and dignity.

Getting yourself and your loved ones microchipped only gives governments and other authorities (whoever may control those microchips) more control over your life, and I personally do not want that, ever.

Pretty much this, agreed 100%.
