Abstract

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips can contain a variety of information and are placed in debit and credit cards, embedded in products in the supply chain, planted in our pets as “microchips,” and enable badge access to workspaces. They are being used in hospitals to ensure proper medications are given, help libraries keep track of holdings, and are used in many other ways. The fact that data can be transported easily and wirelessly presents many opportunities. Use in humans themselves, however, is a relatively new concept, and along with some benefits come several serious ethical questions that need to be addressed.
