Yeah, this is really NOT happening...sarcasm off...
Look at this OFFICIAL website...scares me to no end! Look at the "solutions" tag...you tell me that they aren't planning something?

Kevin....so they will micro chip them like dogs? That is not a solution...it is taking advantage of vulnerable people to use them as guinea pigs.

Gevera...don't assume something that you don't have a clue about. The truth of the matter is that I HAVE taken care of Alzheimer's before, and I am quite aware of how they act and how they wander...which is why they should be in a locked nursing home where they can't get out or such. These nursing homes are quite common all across the USA.

Wow, that's horrible and scary. If Bush had his way, I'm sure all of us would be chipped right now. To fight the War on Terror, of course.

I think it's a fabulous idea. Obviously you don't have an Alzheimer's patient in your family who wanders. If this thing has a trackable GPS in it, which it seems to, I'd sign my father up in a heartbeat.
And how can I do that? My mom and I have medical and legal power of attorney, which is standard procedure when someone is mentally incapacitated.
As far as "using them for medical research" goes, people with all diseases are used for research. My father has been in several studies. It is no big deal.
I'm not sure why this antichips website is so fear-based, but it is. They make it sound like everyone with AD will be rounded up, strapped to a table and forcibly chipped without getting permission from anyone. Medical studies don't work that way, there are tons of paper work and consent forms and interviews to even GET into a study. The doctors give every consideration to the patient and the family.

Anybody who wants this done to themselves has the right to do so. Whoever has power of attorney for a person can also decide whether or not to implant the chip. Think of the chip as body piercing for the elderly.
Florida has a considerable senior citizen population. Finding one old person on a street of thousands of old people is tough enough. Figuring out who a Alzheimer's patient is and where they belong can be very difficult.

From what I understand, it seems to be simply a way to keep track of people who aren't able to care for themselves. We give Alzheimer's plenty of medications that they don't consent to. Think what is worse a tiny microchip in the skin or the possibility of a patient becoming lost and dying because officials can't track or easily locate medical information on them.
