This company purports to have a device to implant which can be tracked by GPS technology to know where you are and how you are doing (heart rate, etc.). My CATS have a subdermal implant so that if they are lost any animal shelter in the country can scan their skin and get a read out on their owner's identity (me) so that I can recover them. When I had those implants injected into my cats, I telephoned the implant company and asked if this could be made available for myself and members of my family instead of relying upon medical bracelets (which can come off after all). The strange man who answered the telephone actually began to quote to me from the Bible about why such an idea for humans was dreadful. So today my cats are findable if lost but my human family members are only safe from Satan! (Hoorah! Who cares?). I hope this news item turns out to be true. I will sign up immediately. After all, the IRS already knows where I live. After them, why should I care who else does? -George Smith CI member http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=17834 ------=_NextPart_001_0006_01C0F671.2F270E80 Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16557
