Location Tracking
Tracking animals is much different than tracking a person. First off there are many risks. By implanting a computer into a person we are putting a human life at risk. No matter how specified a doctor can be there is always still a risk. So the question arises is the risk worth the reward? In my opinion I think tracking children could be beneficial. However only for a certain amount of time. I say it is understandable until the age of 5. And any age past that I believe children should be at an intellectual level to be aware of where they are and what is happening to them and they should have a say of what is in their bodies. I absolutely think it is a invasion of privacy for anyone above that age. I would support a US bill only if it were for children under the age of 5. Anything more is an invasion. I think tracking seniors is a whole other category. I think they should have to agree to it. They should be aware of all the implication and aware of exactly what would be happening and they would have to fully agree to it in order for it to be okay. However I think the GPS shoes are a much better option. It is less of a health risk and can aid in the same way.

I disagree that chips should be used on children under five years old. I think that having a child and raising them on your own is an essential lesson in the human experience. Sense the first child was born till now their have been no tracking devises in children so to implement them now would change the psychological experience of being a parent. I also think that it might make parents more lazy when raising their kids because they could use the chip as a safety net.
