Initial testing has shown that the implantation of the chip poses health concerns.

- Cases of patients reacting adversely to the chip itself by infection or allergy.

- Instances of the chip being implanted improperly or dislodging itself and moving to a different part of the body.

-Chip may stop working at any time and lose information.
 

Chips may also react to outside sources, such as a strong electrical field or an MRI machine.

-The strong magnets used in the MRI machine may be able to demolish the chip and cause severe internal and external burns.

 

Previous veterinary and toxicology studies have shown...

-Subcutaneous sarcomas have developed.

- Malignant cancers grew in the tissue surrounding the microchips.
 
Security and Privacy Risks  
 

If these implanted microchips are unencrypted, they would be extremely vulnerable to hacker attacks and interception by third party scanners.

-If the chip were to be illegally scanned, a person could potentially steal all the information held on the chip leading to criminal misuse of medical information or insurance files.

-Citizens feel that by allowing this implantation, civil liberties would be lost.
