Location Tracking

Tracking animals has always been a popular thing to do. It is very simple you can just put a tracker on their collar or just put a little tag on them and you can always find them if they are lost. Recently there has been a lot of talk in whether or not parents should be allowed to do this to their children just in case they are lost. I believe this is right to a certain degree. When you are talking about young children, under 5, I do not think it is right for them to get a chip inserted in them. I would feel it would be intelligent to put some type of tracking devise in their clothing or something that they could wear like a bracelet or the great idea of putting it in their shoes. I think those are all good options. I think that the only time it would be appropriate to implant a chip in a human to track them would be if the person receiving the device gives consent to this happening. That kind of defeats the purpose of the tracking device though, since if the person has the sensibility to decide whether or not they want a tracking device implanted into them, they should be able to not get lost. I would thus say that chips should not be used unless consent is given. I would say this is one thing that the parent just cant decide that their child gets this chip, since it is not them receiving it, if they are that concerned about losing their child. Maybe they should pay better attention to their child or even to an extreme invest in a leash or harness. If there was a bill in congress, I would not support it because the government should not be able to decide what a child has to do. It could be very uncomfortable for some children to live with a chip in them, and I think their could be a lot better ways to approach this situation. I think the best possible solution would be GPS shoes, these are very simple and not harmful in anyway. This type of tracking is a great way to keep your elderly contain, and definitely a great way to keep track of your young children.
