VeriChip Corporation - Infant Protection: "The number of total switching incidents is as high as 20,000 per year in the U.S.
- Journal of Healthcare Protection Management"
Instead of this statisic being the foundation of a pro-
"tagging" your infant argument to sell the people on how "good" RFID/National ID, Big Brother "so that we can protect you" etc. etc. is...parents should consider returning to the ancient and safe custom of birth at home.

Five Standards for Safe Childbearing - Awesome quote!
Five Standards for Safe Childbearing - Google Book Search
"It is a comment on our times that we, who want childbirth to again become an intimate family affair, filled with the security of one's home and the love and tenderness of one's family, are considered radicals." Doris Haire

Excerpts from the 5 Standards of Safe Childbirth
NAPSAC
by David Stewart, PhD:
...Every study published shows midwives to be safer than doctors. Every study. No exceptions. If your physician disagrees with this, challenge him or her to produce the data that supports otherwise. They won't be able to do it. Such data does not and never did exist. In a nutshell, that is the strength of the case for midwifery. It is unanimous.

They won't be able to do it. Such data does not and never did exist. In a nutshell, that is the strength of the case for midwifery. It is unanimous.
...In March of 1996, the Kansas State Supreme Court rules that midwifery is a distinct profession. The high court stated that "even if the midwife does something that could be construed as medical practice, it is not medical practice. It is midwifery. An activity is not incident to the practice of medicine just because it is engaged in by the members of the medical profession."
Dr. Stewart says, "Any practitioner who attends birth with an attitude of respect for individuality, support of nature, promoting health, and the preservations of normality by little or no intervention is, by our definition, a "midwife" even though he or she may hold a degree in medical doctoring."
