Implanted RFID Chips Linked To Cancer
Topic: Technology 10:40 pm EDT, Sep  8, 2007

The Associated Press is reporting that microchip implants have induced cancer in laboratory animals and dogs. A series of research articles spanning more than a decade found that mice and rats injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant, fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors originated in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to completely surround the devices. To date, about 2,000 RFID devices have been implanted in humans worldwide, according to VeriChip Corp." We recently discussed the California ban on companies requiring such implants.

Wow! Okay, I'm not a big fan of putting RFID in people to begin with, but my understanding is that they were designed to be as inert as possible. So, if such a tiny little thing causes cancer, what is going to happen with replacement knees, pacemakers, artificial hearts, and other medically necessary implants - not to mention my surgically implanted Internet connection of the future?
