Should humans be worried about developing cancer from microchip implants?
The fact that rodents and dogs have developed cancer around implanted microchips does not necessarily mean that humans will do the same. However, prior research indicates that humans are subject to malignant tumors in response to foreign-body implants. In a small number of cases, highly aggressive sarcomas and carcinomas have developed in humans around pacemakers and other implanted devices. Most of the malignant, microchip-induced tumors found in rodents were classified as sarcomas – soft tissue cancers. Although soft tissue sarcomas are rare in humans, they are responsible for more deaths than testicular cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, and thyroid cancer combined. They are also notorious for recurring and metastasizing—often with devastating results. It should be noted that the same company that manufactures the VeriChip human implant also produced and sold the virtually identical microchips that were associated with cancer in dogs. Since the microchip implant procedure has only been perf
