Hellenic Forums Omogenia - YASOU - Hellenism: 'Digital Angel Chip' & 'VeriChip'

'Digital Angel Chip' & 'VeriChip': Implantation, Surveillance & Digital Tracking of humans on a massive scale?

Is this yet another World-Order 'conspiracy theory' or a covert and sinister agenda to eventually microchip, track & control all humans, in future ?

-------------------------

Digital Angel accusations come as Whistleblower report published
(April, 2002)

ADS press release, Dec. 15, 1999: "ADS Acquires the rights to World's First Digital Device - Implantable in Humans - With Applications In E-Business To Business Security, Health Care And Criminal Justice.

"... Inserted just under the skin ... miniature Digital Angel has multi-billion dollar market potential. ... The implantable transceiver sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by GPS. ... When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles. ... We plan to focus our initial development efforts on the growing field of e-commerce security and user ID verification. ... The company expects to create a working prototype by the end of next year."

'Large numbers of human beings'
As for the issue of the implantable chips being intended for use in "large numbers of human beings," the company has recommended and promoted their products' use in the following applications:

* Medical monitoring, tracking of Alzheimer's victims and autistic persons, heart patients, persons with heart regulating devices, medical implants, or prosthetic devices

* Law enforcement, including use in prisoners, parolees, persons under house arrest and individuals in witness-protection programs

* E-commerce security/user verification: "Requiring this ID for logon would prevent unauthorized access"

* Per the Palm Beach Post, ADS is pushing for the chip to be implanted in all foreigners entering the country, claiming it could replace green cards

* Airline workers, nuclear power plant workers and employees of other "sensitive industries"

* Implantation in children and the elderly

* Gun control - "prevention of unauthorized use of firearms"

* Potential kidnapping victims, such as diplomats and top corporate executives

* Soldiers
* Wilderness hikers

Digital Angel's chip cleared for use in humans
(October, 2004)

Digital Angel Corp. and a partner have received approval for the use in humans of an implantable chip providing access to a person's medical information.

Shares of St. Paul-based Digital Angel jumped 29 percent in very active trading on Wednesday after the company and Applied Digital Solutions Inc. in Delray Beach, Fla., stated that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had cleared the VeriChip for medical uses in humans.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and can be implanted just under the skin, usually on the right upper arm.

Once in place, the chip can be read by a special scanner and then provides a unique identification number which allows access to a secure database with patient-approved medical information.

Microchip Implants for Humans as Unique Identifiers: a Case Study on VeriChip
(2008)

Microchip implants for humans are not new. The installation of pacemakers in humans and a great number of other medical innovations for prosthesis are now considered straightforward procedures. Today we have even realised the potential for microchip implants to be embedded inside the body of humans for the purpose of acting as unique lifetime identifiers (ULI). Tiny radiofrequency identification (RFID) devices are now being utilised to store a unique 16-digit identification number.

A significant paradigm shift has occurred in 'how' technology is being utilised by humans and 'where' it is being applied, requiring a commensurate ethical response from the broader community. For instance, what does it mean for technology to be embedded beneath the skin in a perfectly healthy human being for the purposes of 'easy' identification or even amplification? Is an implant for non-medical purposes a basic breach in a human's rights? Are implant IDs, even if consent has been granted by the recipient, in direct conflict with a State's privacy laws? And what happens if an implant cannot be removed "on demand" because it has become intertwined with tissue in the body?

...

Today we have verified accounts of the VeriChip system being used for law enforcement personnel identification, VIP club lounge entry, as an anti-kidnapping technology, and even for employee physical secure access. Though these cases are admittedly limited, the potential for widespread use of microchip implants in humans is real and possible. The cost of getting a VeriChip is merely US$200 with an additional $10 monthly fee to store the information on the company's web site. To early adopters of technology this would seem like another telecommunications subscription plan.

This paper explores the ethical concerns related to semi-permanent implantable microchips for unique human identification.
