CASE : RFID /Microchips | Is it possible to monitor 2-way conversations?
We have even heard and read
about people being implanted with RFID devices without their knowledge or
consent, which constitutes violation of privacy (not to mention the potential
health repercussions i.e., tumors linked to RFID implants.) So keep in mind that
according to Wikipedia:
Cancer
Veterinary and toxicology studies carried out from 1996 to 2006 found that lab
mice and rats injected with microchips sometimes developed cancerous tumors
around the micropchips (subcutaneous sarcomas). Data
suggest that between 1% and 10% of the implanted lab animals developed malignant cancers
originating in the tissue surrounding the microchips. Dr. Cheryl London, a
veterinarian oncologist at Ohio State University, noted: “It’s much easier to
cause cancer in mice than it is in people. So it may be that what you’re seeing
in mice represents an exaggerated phenomenon of what may occur in people.”
London suggested a 20-year study of chipped canines was needed “to see if you
have a biological effect.” Specialists from several pre-eminent cancer
institutions have supported such testing before microchips are implanted on a
large scale in humans.[citation needed]
Other medical complications
According
to the FDA, implantation of the VeriChip poses potential medical downsides.[9] Electrical hazards, MRI
incompatibility, adverse tissue reaction, and migration of the implanted
transponder are just a few of the potential risks associated with the Verichip
ID implant device, according to an October 12, 2004 letter issued by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).[10]
A patient could be burned
if the chip reacts to outside source of EMF radiation, such as a strong
electrical field or a magnetic resonance imager (MRI)
machine. The strong magnets used in an MRI scanner could destroy the implant
and cause serious burns, internally and externally.[citation needed]
According to the FDA’s Primer on Medical Device Interactions with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Systems, “electrical currents may be induced in conductive metal
implants” that can cause “potentially severe patient burns.”
However, when the Mythbusters TV
show[citation needed] tested
a microchip implant in an MRI machine, the test subject showed no signs of pain
or trauma. Since MRI machines come in various strengths, it is possible that
higher energy-emitting MRI machines may be more problematic. The model and make
of the chip could affect possible outcomes as well.
