He’s only what? 53, and he may be experiencing early alzheimers or some other brain disorder. That’s very scary. From now on, the family knows that he just may up and disappear. One of the only times I would ever consider using a microchip in a person would be if I had a relative with alzheimers living with me, and this person had a compulsion to walk aimlessly and tirelessly outside the house. Perhaps not an embeded chip, but something attatched to their clothing or shoes.
My step-dad had Alzheimer’s and would wander off. We got him a medical ID bracelet with his name and my name and number. Saved him more than once.
