Should people have ID chips implanted under their skin?
It has been predicted that this will be the year we see the debut of the human microchip. This technology makes it possible, among other things, to instantly verify whether a person is who he/she claims to be. An RFID (Short Range Radio Frequency Identification) installation can contain all the information that we usually carry in our wallets. It can transmit our identity information when we pass a security check, allow us to use public transport and queue at the supermarket checkout, a thing of the past.
The future of the microchip is exciting, with many exciting potential applications. Fleas like the ones we use in our pets now could become common within the next decade. Of course, there are some downsides to the technology, ranging from the most practical and realistic to the most wacky and dystopian possible. But while some experts have doubts about whether these chips are appropriate for use in humans, the fact that they RFID chip has been around for a while The RFID chip is essentially a tiny radio transceiver, at roughly the size of a grain of rice, capable of holding various types of information.
It is inserted under the skin and, once scanned, the chip can provide information such as a person's identification number which connects to a database containing more detailed information about the wearer. Kevin Warwick, professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, was the first to implant an RFID chip in his arm in 1998. The aim was to test whether his computer could wirelessly track his movements within the 'university. When Applied Digital Solutions in Florida began experimenting with implanting their VeriChips – now called PositiveID – into everyday people in the early 2000s, the technology took off and received FDA approval in 2004.
RFID can be a useful tool, especially when dealing with emergency situations where instant access to the right medical information can mean the difference between life and death. Here are some other benefits: You will never worry about losing your wallet and the cards we use to pay for things at the store, take public transport, access buildings and borrow books from the library. The problem with these plastic cards is that they can be lost or stolen. An implanted RFID chip is impossible to lose or steal.
Even easier identification Our passports, ID cards and driving licenses already contain microchips and would require minimal infrastructure changes at train and bus stations and airports to switch from scanning passports to scanning weapons. You will be identified without having to do anything other than walk past a reader.
Club membership and access control Baja Beach Clubs in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and Barcelona, Spain were the first clubs to offer the microchip to VIP customers, allowing them to skip long queues and providing easy access to subscription features. Members use their tokens to keep track of what they order and even to pay for food and drinks. Servers can scan the tokens and a computer automatically debits their bank accounts. Implanted RFID chips are also practical in the workplace, hotels, gyms and anywhere authorization is required for access. Your medical history will always be easily accessible An implanted RFID chip can be used to quickly access your medical history: what antibiotics you have had in the past, what you are allergic to, what medications you are taking and any other relevant medical information in emergencies medical procedures, particularly when a patient is unconscious.
These implants are particularly useful for people suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer's disease. The chip itself does not contain the full medical history of the patient, but rather a unique code or number that can be used to access information from a database. Keeping an eye on patients, children and criminals It is not uncommon for children to get confused in hospitals, for the elderly or hospitalized patients to be discharged from care facilities or for criminals to escape from jail.
Moreover, it is not uncommon for children to get lost in a crowd, run away from home or be kidnapped. In these cases, being able to trace people means having peace of mind. lies for millions of caregivers, family members and parents. In the case of a kidnapping, the first 4 hours are the most critical, as the murder usually occurs within this time frame. An RFID chip could greatly reduce the risk of something terrible happening. You'll be able to automatically control many of your devices Imagine being able to start your car automatically, open the front door as you approach, your favorite TV channel comes on while you're sitting on the couch, or the thermostat that makes sure the temperature
Human microchipping is the process of placing a transponder or an integrated circuit device underneath the human skin. These chips have unique identity numbers and information about their owners, including medical records, bank accounts, among others. Microchipping was first introduced in 1998 with Kevin Warnick being the first person to have a chip implanted in his body.
ADVANTAGES OF HUMAN MICROCHIPPING
· Identification
· Access to VIP memberships: In the case of accessing restaurants and hotels.
· Preventing thefts
· Security and safety
· Securing health
DISADVANTAGES OF HUMAN MICROCHIPPING
· Viruses
· Lack of universal standards
· Placement management
· Health Risks
Embedding a chip in the body may lead to infections and diseases. A microchip is a foreign object, and your body may react to it, leading to infections and diseases.
The ones above are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a chip in their bodies. There are those in support of the move and those that are not. Each of these groups has their reasons why the move is important. As such, it might not be possible to decide whether or not having a chip in entirely good or bad. For this reason, it should not be made mandatory such that those interested in having the chip should be allowed to get it.
