"When your life and all you love is on the line" - Well exactly.

"Because Bob can't remember his medications" - How much drugs do you really need in your system? Enough for Bob not to remember.

"Because my car lost control while driving"? - How often does your car lose control while driving? More likely just bad driving from a bad driver.

"Because I have diabetes" - Making it sound like a cure? The same people that caused you to have diabetes are the same ones trying to RFID you.


So how long until the NHS tell us "its for your own good?"

If i'm forced to have one, i'd carve the bloody thing out.

Alternatively Bob has Alzheimers or similar and can't remember for that reason.

I rather suspect the point is that if you are in a crash, particularly at high speeds, you might not be able to inform the emergency services of who you are or any other relevant medical concerns.

Unless I'm very much wrong this is an American thing only at the moment? So it has to be a matter of choice there since they don't have nationalised medical care in the same way. While I don't especially like the idea of people being scanned like lost pets if it is their choice then I don't really see much in the way of reason for argument against it except that the advertising is quite badly done.

I'm not up for 'you may total a car' for a RFID chip to be put in me.

They can deal with my medical problems as presented, if I can't tell them or anyone else for that matter who I am and I don't have conventional ID or a Medi-bracelet thing well tough cookies.

If someone else is, great. Not me.

And my old neightbour has a mountain of medication, its brought to her in a van by the chemist in a very simple day by day weekly box of magic pills. If they can't get 'monday'..'tuesday' right its care home time anyway, and what use is a RFID then?

They'll struggle to pull this off in America... Mark of the beast and all that.

They'd never get one in me either, come to that.
 
I wonder if that daft advert with the fake smiles and lame music really would get to anyone. How stupid would you have to be.
 
Wonder they could track where you are with one of these?
Most likely not ... But you never know ;)

haha, maybe; I'll clarify. If it gives doctors access to my medical records if I'm ever involved in an accident, that can only be a good thing.
Also, the only people that usually complain about them are paranoid about data protection, which I can understand, maybe such a system could be abused, but I can't see the sense in worrying about it.

Have you ever had an elderly relative who takes a lot of medication? I'm guessing not.

A truly ignorant comment, exactly what we've come to expect from someone as utterly stupid as yourself.
 
How can someone cause you to have diabetes? It's either an auto-immune disorder in which case there's nothing you can do to cause or prevent it, or it's because you've built up resistance to insulin from over-indulging in sugar. Again, nobody can cause you to get it unless they're actually strapping you to a chair and force feeding you sugar.

I myself am diabetic and an RFID chip would actually be fairly reassuring if it just contained my name and medical info.
