That's interesting... part of me immediately says yes but immediately another part worries about the Big Brother effect... I'll be following along with interest... Peachy

Rather than going into the ethics of it, some practical concerns: The tiny chips in pets (behind their ears) only contain barcodes, so they can be identified when they are found. For the chipping of kids to work, you'd need to be able to track them down, not wait until someone hands them in. That would mean GPS trackers under their skin that are (for now) considerably larger than microchips. Also, any kidnapper with half a brain would remove them as soon as they had the chance, which would put kids at an even bigger risk of severe bodily harm if their abductors didn't have the skills to safely do so.

Put it in your wrist. Just wave it over the reader. Although if its anything like my credit card chip that needs replacing every few months. Be taking babies back for a new one. New parents might change their mind and just cancel the account AND baby.

Why are children left unsupervised... to the point that they may require microchipping??? A child being kidnapped..... well, I believe they're going to have significantly larger issues than identification after being located. 2c

Things along these lines are being developed. There is already a system uses something similar to unlock doors in high security areas. Still a lot of issues to sort out. As someone mentioned, any kidnapper would immediately remove the chip, or replace it with a fake code. Using it for identity will still have the same issues as any other form of ID you may carry, with the sole exception it would be harder to lose. Teenagers these days seem to have smartphones grafted to them, how long before they are surgically implanted? Be tracked wherever you go! They are so easily compromised you never know if someone is stalking you.

I hope he is a substantially better GP than he is security consultant or comedian. That idea is just plain dumb.

My GP was suggesting how sad the world has become with so many children going missing etc he had empathy and thinking what a good idea if they can find the children that suffer and for the families that never know what ever happened to there children Disclaimer!!!! He said medicine and science would never let it happen it was his kind thoughts only Sally - Posted from rhpmobile

Anymore. Perhaps microchips are replacing what we've lost. I've just removed myself from city life and it's madness. Time to shut up.

Are trying to push and introduce this and we think that's it's only a matter of time before we are all forced into this. Already we are being tracked by means of our mobile phones as is our internet use. Big brother is watching and so where does it end ? Already we have forced medication without consent (vaccinations and flouridation of drinking water) .... It's just a matter of time . - Posted from rhpmobile

We will get to the stage that this will be implemented into every day life and seem as normal as taking your dog or cat to the vet for a chip. Is just the way we work as a society. We start off as a trial basis on something, then the paranoid people jump in and say, No, We NEED this to keep us safe. When I was knee high to a grass hopper, I used to pinch my bicycle out of the shed and take off around my local streets. Gave my parents heart failure, and many things could've happened, but they didn't. My point... I think kids are molly coddled enough these days, and parents fear mongered into keeping their kids wrapped up in cotton wool. Heaven help us that when I was younger we were out and about playing in the streets till it was sundown, without mobile phones or half the technology we have today, and I'll be damned, I'm still here to talk about it. Sorry, but chipping kids ? What next... neurological electronic implants to stimulate their learning abilities ? Where will it end...

Quoting 'SEXYsally6969' My GP was suggesting how sad the world has become with so many children going missing etc - Posted from rhpmobile Is it actually a fact that more kids go missing or is it just more in our faces because of all the (social) media?

never go full cyborg!!! :p That said....I think it's interesting conversation to have...I'm sure the logistics though would require quite an in depth think tank.... But I find it quite an interesting idea - Posted from rhpmobile

One of my friends works as a teacher at a fancy private school. At least a couple of kids in her class are being "monitored" by their parents in some way without either the childs or the teachers knowledge - when they had a fire drill recently and had to evacuate across the road the parents somehow knew about it and started freaking out about why their kids were leaving school grounds.

...when the law starts putting technological obstacles in the way of what some people want, they will start figuring out ways around them. That's how technology progresses so quickly in times of global war, incidentally...nations getting together to solve mechanical, logistical and social problems in the most efficient way. Scary. ATM and online banking is in full swing these days and unsurprisingly, ATM scanners, credit card scanners, passport scanners, etc...they're all a very real threat now. It's naive to imagine that would-be criminals are less clever than the lawmakers and enforcers. When presented with an obstacle, they'll just start figuring a way around it. Just as you or I would do. Of course, that's not to say that innovation has no place any more...quite the opposite, I imagine...but it needs to be pretty damn clever nowadays.

Then you can just let them run free and track them...when you want to find them of course.

Will fill part of the gap. Fingerprint children at a predetermined age. With fingerprint scanners as part of banking and travel soon, missing children will show up in the system and alert the authorities at some point in later years.

Internet and telcos are now required by law to keep your user information for two years...the footprint that you leave as well..for instance it's not just who you made calls to but where you were when you made,the call....privacy and personal freedoms are slowly being eroded away ...as for putting micro chips into children it would probably put the child at risk of mutilation not keep them safe xxFreya

Quoting 'Chocolatecock72' Every citizen in the country will be chipped, not only for tracking, all your info will be stored on it starting with your TFN and everything else the one world government deems necessary. Without it you are an alien, a non being in the eyes of authorities. You'll have no access to health and social services or even your own finances. I never thought we would see it in our lifetime but over the next 20 years it will be on us. Various states in oz have already begun the push for the 'smart card' which will eventually be phased out in favour of a chip and there won't be sfa we can do about it. There is always something you can do about it. Institutionalised apathy is what they count on.

I seem to remember reading or hearing that some people in america ar already doing this. I wonder if there is more to this then just the identification of the child after abduction. Image there has been an accident the parent/s are incapacitated the microchip could include important medical information as well as details about the child. Think that there is some slight medical merit to this but the ethics of being chip to be followed via gps, use it to open doors etc, think this is getting a bit '1984'.

Compulsory micro-chipping of babies was the subject of The Pitch on Gruen tonight. Both agencies went with the line of lost/missing children: "Children are much better at hiding than we are at seeking." "We put their names on everything [clothes, lunch boxes, sporting equipment], why not on the one thing we would most hate to lose" While The Pitch is aimed at challenging agencies to 'sell the unsellable', the sad thing is that I could imagine these mock ads becoming reality at some point in the future, and that doesn't sit well with me. On a completely different topic, but still with Gruen... an amazing and (to me) very powerful advert about violence against women. YouTube: In kid's world women don't get hit.
