Newborn babies to get bar codes instead of handwritten name tags

Whose reality? Were bar-codes introduced to supermarkets because of the convenience or as part of the desensitizing effort?

No, I doubt that.

Yes, there was a need before now. They identified an ongoing problem and sought a solution to it. The article says the problem was illegible handwriting, not forgetfulness of staff.

Yah, it's a major problem these days, people just can't write anymore. Probably best to abolish handwriting completely.

You're railing against something that helps babies and makes hospitals more efficient.

Yup, RFID chips make the world a safer place too and I rail against those being implemented also.

Some individuals choose to get RFID chips implanted so it somehow follows that anyone who chooses not to will be a branded a terrorist or has something to hide? Reads like a leap and unfounded fears to me.

That doesn't surprise me at all, it's not a fear on my behalf. Do you think the plan is to chip only half of the population ? what would be the point of that ?
How do you think they will chip the ones who don't want to be chipped ? Perhaps single them out ? make it look like they have something to hide ?
In the interest of safety, "get chipped", if not, you are not a team player and don't have the interest and safety of you're country and country men at heart. Therefore you could be the enemy. "If you are not with us, you are against us" Dont you think it is plausible ?
The other option is to sit you down in a room and chat to you about about the pro's of getting chipped and hope that social conformity works it's magic.
though I don't think any of the above will be necessary in you're case as you will be the eager excited sheep at the front of the queue with your sleeve rolled up

If the tags can be tampered with, go missing etc. then the solution will be to embedd the barcodes onto skin.

How about they stop building prisons and make room for more hospitals thus requiring more nurses, then up their pay and at least somebodies getting their babies looked after and others with new jobs.
I dont like the idea of babies all together in a room without their mother.
Every mum should have a single area or room or at least a watch guard on the babies dorm.
I also dont like the idea of ink going onto a newborns skin.Im sure that seeps into their blood stream i think it does with adults when they write on their hands with pens etc.Or at least i would imagine anything touching our skin in liquid form could be absorbed.

I'm pretty sure that you can't absorb ink through the skin.
And my post wasn't literally suggesting that we should write on babies.

Why is it that the child's name is printed on the band in the picture ?
