Tag elderly people, says science minister

There are few compensations to getting old but the right to be accepted as an eccentric is one of them.
We have all heard some sad tale from distraught relatives relating how grannie was found wandering the streets in her nightie in the small hours, but tagging seems a bit 'over the top'.
If I decide to go bungie jumping off Sydney harbour bridge without informing my relatives beforehand I do not expect to be stopped at the airport and be subjected to a psychriatric assessment. This could assist relatives in preventing you spending 'their inheritance'
I saw Altzheimers in action in my late father and can sympathise with any of you who are having the same problems - but tagging!!! - a step too far don't yoou think?
