Background information:
Microchip ID’s (RFID chips) are in everything in the modern world; from barcodes to pet trackers to credit cards, even cell phones. Over 80% of all merchandise in the United States have a microchip embedded somewhere in the product. In 2005 the FDA authorized the VeriChip Corporation to start producing a RFID chip to be use in humans. Eventually it would be a way to store medical information, used as a GPS tracker if activated and many other benefits.

1. Have you heard of the VeriChip? If so how?

Major corporations have now started requiring their employees to get chipped.
2. Do you think businesses should be allowed to do this?

Some government officials think that it should be mandatory for all soldiers going over seas to get a chip implanted. Their view is that it would help find MIA’s and POW’s quicker and helps identify the deceased soldiers.
3. Should soldiers going over seas get chipped? Should It be mandatory?

4. Do you think it would be beneficial in the long run if all children had to be chipped?

5. Do you consider the VeriChip and all it’s advanced technology a violation of your privacy? Why?

6. If the government made the VeriChip low cost or even free for anyone willing to get it would you choose to get chipped?

7. Do you think the VeriChip should be mandatory for all U.S. citizens? If you don’t think so would you revolt or protest against the decision?
