RFID implants causing tumors in animals

[casebro]

Yes, the P53+/- mouse is cancer prone:

"Mice that lack one or both copies of p53 also showed an increased incidence of tumors,"

P53+/+ is normal, meaning two copies of the gene.

So, we can extrapolate that knowledge to: Humans lacking one or both P53 genes should not get implanted, nor use cell phones, work around radios, eat aspartame, have sex, eat food, drink water....

It's a similar problem to non-lethal microwave weapons. They are essentially harmless to humans, but can heat up metalic objects being worn and cause severe burns. Obviously this particular method isn't a major concern for ID chips, but there are plenty of other sources of radiation around that could potentially induce heating. Apparently this has been considered and the risk is sufficiently low not to worry about, I just found it a little odd that I couldn't find any references to actual studies on the matter.

Actually the RFID chips contain metal if Im not mistaken. Not enough to rip itself out of your body during an MRI but defiantly enough to obstruct the area around the scan.

depends on the metal. see my avatar (titanium). It's been MRI'ed quite often, and they can compensate for the reflection to a good degree.
