Assignment 3B- Location Tracking


I do not think that it is the parents right to have the chips implanted into their children because the children, although young, still have the right to do what they want with their body and the right to privacy.  I do believe that there needs to be something to help reduce the number of child abductions but implanting a chip is probably not the best solution.  I think the shoe solution would be more beneficial for seniors with alzheimers incase they get lost.  But, I think if they tried to put the GPS trackers in shoes targeted for children, they would just not wear the shoes or take them out.  However, maybe if it was planted in toddlers shoes I think it would be more efficient rather then have them on the leashes parents use to keep their children close.  Nonetheless, I do not believe implanting a chip into someone's body is the right move for anyone.

  1. Emily, what if children had a chip in their shoes that their parents could activate in an emergency situation but once the child reached a certain age they didn't have to keep the chip in their shoes anymore? Kind of a vague idea and would need work but it's a thought...
