In class on Wednesday, we discussed the idea of chipping things we cannot live without. This could range from children, to keys (which is being done as we speak). The more important one, I think, is the chipping of children. I think this would be a good idea for teens who can drive or get lost somewhere, and even for small children, in drastic sense, if they get abducted. If any human under the age of 18 were to be taken or run away, they would be able to be found. But by whom? The government? The parents? The legal guardian? What if the child in question runs away from abusive parents? The parents would be able to find them, even if they were placed in foster care, ect. Also, how secure would the information be about the whereabouts of the child? If the child was taken from their parents, would the info about where the child is located be transferred to the government? Does this violate privacy laws? Should the government be able to track children?
Honestly, I have no idea. I tend to lean on the less the government knows about me, the better. But if I was kidnapped? I would definitely like someone to know where I am.
And I feel if you asked parents of children who have been abducted (or even the ones who don't), they would be quick to agree for the safety reasons.
