Re: Tag elderly people, says science minister

When I'm older and losing even more of my marbles I'd rather be tagged in a dignified way so that I can be found if I wander off than to posibly freeze to death wandering aimlessly with loved ones frantically trying to find me.

I don't think it's about taking away someone's dignity at all. What is more dignified - to be found quickly by being traceable or to sit shivering in a park in just nightie because you can't remember where you live and no-one knows where you are?

I don't for a moment believe that the idea is to use great chunky ankle clamps or anything large and undignified. As I said earlier, a simple subcutaneous chip which no-one would even be aware of would serve the purpose. It can be done for animals so why not vulnerable human beings?
