• Microchipping people as if they were dogs or laboratory animals is dehumanizing. It violates their physical integrity and their dignity.

• Chipping is an invasive procedure that carries significant health risks. The FDA has identified numerous health risks associated with the VeriChip implant.

• It is unethical to use Alzheimer's patients as research subjects for this type of invasive medical research.

• Chipping should never be done without the full, informed consent of a cognitively intact adult patient.

• Alzheimer's patients are not able to provide informed consent due to the nature of their illness and thus should not be chipped

• Injecting an implant into another person's flesh without that person's full consent is as violent and invasive as rape.

• For millions of people around the globe, receiving a numbered mark is associated with one of the most serious religious violations a person can commit.

• VeriChip implants are unnecessary. The MedicAlert bracelet, with over 50 years of proven use, is an inexpensive, non-invasive, and widely accepted way to identify Alzheimer's patients and their medical conditions, with none of the problems associated with a risky and societally irresponsible implant. MedicAlert and the Alzheimer's Foundation of America offer a bracelet specifically designed for Alzheimer's patients. For details, see: http://www.medicalert.com/AFA/
