John and Doves,

First let us say that  ALL VeriMed subdermal chipping is wrong and harmful, and according to the Bible most likely fatal:

"We must keep in mind that although this arm-chip is not used for financial transactions, this implant is
DEADLY ( fatal ).
Please read Rev. 16: 2 and 10 .." and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast "
( Ed: lithium-loaded-implant with silicon chip and  polyethylene sheath which is " bio-bonded "  to body tissue ) ...
"and they gnawed their tongues for pain" ( vs 10 )

To chip Alzheimers people as if they were dogs is immoral. To chip people with autism, cerebral palsy and Down's Syndrome is immoral. To implant a deadly-chip into ANYONE is immoral. And in some of these cases this chipping is being done to people who are not aware of what is being done to them.
Children are not fully informed -- nor do they have full realization-- of the consequences of this act.

People who have "Power of Attorney" must not play God with the souls of men.

The Medical ID Bracelet --which has been around for years -- is highly sufficient for these purposes.
God has no Verichip in Him and man is made in the image of God. Therefore, we as Christians must refuse the VeriChip and speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

If today the VeriChip Corporation chips these 4 classes of people, who will be deemed next in their classification of "helpless"?  
Is not the real next step to identify  "undesirables" and "useless eaters" such as the Nazis did in World War 2 ?
That is the most probable scenario yet to take place in the future.
And once identified, then what ?

Let us keep this in our prayers.

In Him,

Vigil for dementia patients -- May 12, 2007
" The centre, which cares for children with Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism, was in the media spotlight two years ago when it considered using VeriChip's device in a similar study on its patients, a plan that has since been put on the back burner.

"Privacy advocates say that it is precisely this helplessness that makes the proposed use of the tags unacceptable.
"This is a community that is not in a position to give fully informed consent or to say no," says Katherine Albrecht of CASPIAN, a Florida-based consumer rights organisation. "The nature of the disease is that they can't fully understand."
Albrecht likens "the violent and invasive act" of implanting a chip in someone who does not have the ability to consent to the act of rape. Others agree with the sentiment, if not the comparison. "This is by definition a way of doing something that denies a person control," says Lee Tien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco. "If that doesn't strike at the heart of human dignity, I don't know what does."
He and Albrecht would rather see a chip implanted in a bracelet.
