Soon the Elderly will be as easy to find as a lost Dog

So I am finally working on my paper for class. I have been googling "free speech defined," "patriot act defined," and "Britain surveillance." I found an article that explained that "electronic chips will be implanted in some of the elderly, letting carers and family members locate them more easily." (link) I once remember being told about a new product where one is able to implant a chip into their animal for when they run off and need to be found again. One would be able to take the dog to the vet, where they would check to the tag in the skin of the animal, thus allowing the animal to safely return home. (link) So if Grandmother decides not to come home some night, you can just call into a company who will locate her for you. I mean who wants little old grandmothers walking aimlessly around town?

This is sick and twisted. I am not usually an animal activist, but with this case it makes me realize how improper it is to install microchips in even a common household animal. It is like the joke of having a cell phone implanted in your ear. Which then brings us to the idea of humans becoming part machine-part human.
