Human Microchip Implants

As technology becomes more complex and convenient, new advances such as human and animal microchip implants may be controversial. Initially the implant looks good, but in the long run it actually causes more problems. These potential "troublemakers" are about thin rice grains to be injected into the skin of the arm or hand (Feder, Zeller 15). Chips are not battery powered, and nothing leaks into the body (Posada - Swafford 8).

Human microchip implants are typically identification integrated circuit devices or RFID transponders embedded in silicate glass embedded in the human body. This type of subcutaneous implant usually contains a unique ID number that can be linked to information contained in an external database such as personal identification, law enforcement agency, medical history, medicine, allergy, and contact information. In 1998, a British scientist Kevin Warwick made the first experiments on RFID implants. His implants are used to open the doors, turn on the lights, and cause verbal output in the building. The implant was removed after 9 days and since then it was held at the Science Museum (London).

Human microchip implants are Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags wrapped in silicate glass of a single size and injected into the body (Figure 1). Typically, subcutaneous implantation involves a unique 16-digit ID number and refers to the information stored in the external database. The first reported implant in 1998 was used to open doors, turn on lights, and do similar tests. In 2004 a few years later, VeriChip was officially approved for human medical use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They changed their company name to Positive ID in 2009 and named embedded chip as VeriChip (Implant manufactured by Microchip, Inc. (People)), 2010.

Amal Graafstra, author of the book "RFID Toys", asked the doctor to get an implant. The orthopedic surgeon placed the microchip on the left hand with a scalpel and the family doctor injected the tip into the right hand using the veterinary Avid syringe kit. Graafstra opens his door and uses the implant to log in to his computer. Implants are not VeriChip brands
