"“If it’ll save my kid, there’s no stuff that’s too extreme,” she told us. “Micro-chipping would be an extra layer of protection, if something bad does happen.”

However, Steffany is in the minority, when it comes to the Tampa Bay Moms Group in which she’s involved. “I’m definitely the odd mom out,” she told us. “But, I stand by my opinion. I think Microchipping, is a good thing.” The topic has come up from time to time within the popular group of Bay Area mothers, and Steffany’s stance on the controversial issue has been extremely unpopular, she admits. She maintains that the other moms thought she was a bit crazy, joking that they call her a “government conspiracy theorist.” But, she adds, “If a small chip the size of a grain of rice could have prevented a tragedy, I think most parents would have said, I think I would have done it.”

Big Brother Mark 'o the Beast Trial Balloon story, desensitizing masses for eventuality. Microchip ID tracking would solve a lot of problems, like the evergrowing need to keep track of Millions of illegal immigrants (and muslim refugees)the government deliberately brings to our country.

Don’t forget the elderly. A chip could alert you if they wander off...or don’t move at all.

What’s wrong with a bar-coded tatoo? ‘Most everybody seems to wear ink sooner or later. /S

I track my kids via their cell phone.

Hey, you know what would be even better? With Obungholecare, we've digitized most medical records. How cool would it be, if you were involved in a bad accident and were found out like a light by the first responders, they could just scan your chip and have a full medical history available to them right away?!?!?! Isn't that awesome? And then, we could put your bank account info on it and completely eliminate the need for actual cashiers and fast food workers, instead you would scan your chip and voila! your account is debited for the amount of your purchase!!! Way cool!!!!

Fun fact:

Dogs that are microchipped have a slightly elevated rate of cancer.

What a fool. I do pity her children.

“Don’t forget the elderly. A chip could alert you if they wander off...or don’t move at all.”

After all, kids and seniors, are just like our family pets, right? The human condition only exists between 18 and 65. Outside that window, we’re all just government chattel!

Put the damn chip in the kids shoes. Same with the elderly. These things are already available.

This is all about marketing.

An example of worrying about the most extreme tragedy (child abduction), and ignoring all other possible consequences. Of course it would be tragic if her child were abducted...but its really not that likely at all.

[themidnightskulker]

if you enforced the laws on the books, and gave swift and harsh punishment to offenders, kids would be as safe as I was when I was a kid.

I want my country back.

This is one of the reasons we named our daughter Mittens.

Plus, the vet bills are way lower than the pediatrician.

Hairballs turning out to be a bitch though.

The Most adorable kid post you got there!

Yes except if you euthanize your pet by dehydration and starvation, you could get in a lot of trouble!

[Ray76]

What a naive fool. It prevents nothing, it helps identify the remains.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Some may have a misconception about how these chips work.

They are not constantly reporting your position. They need to be scanned, in relatively close proximity, to be read. This may change some day, but it’s currently how they work.

That said, I do not want them for myself or my family.

My dog is chipped and my dog goes where I go.

Not to mention that if you were involved in a bad accident and were found out like a light by the first responders, they could just scan the medical history on your chip, and decide on the spot whether or not saving your life is cost effective for the “common good.”
