So many times when people are missing, it's easy to wish that there were some way to locate them. Well, these days there is. Microchips. Some call them the mark of the beast, some think they are a blessing. I consider getting myself microchiped sometimes in case I ever go missing. Then I think how crazy that sounds and I decide against it. Today's question is: Would you microchip yourself or your family?
Tracking kids via microchip 'can't be far off,' says expert

It's a thought that is just a little too Orwellian for most people -- putting a microchip inside your body. But there are people who are doing just that already.
For most of those who have, it's a matter of convenience. Now, they can log onto their computer, lock or unlock their front door, or even start their car with a wave of a microchip implanted in their hand.
Now let's take the technology one step further.
What if you could implant a chip in your child which could help bring him or her home in the event they were lost or worse -- kidnapped?
Experts are working on that possibility right now. There are already working on products you can buy, like watches or bracelets or tracking bug,s to drop into a backpack which can be tracked by GPS. But tracking a microchip, placed inside a human body is another matter.
