Viruses in RFID Chips By: Amanda Stephenson
RFID • RFID – Radio Frequency Identification tags • Hold 128 characters • Normally placed in livestock and pets for identification • Chips can now spread viruses
Ethical Decision Making Process • The problem is that these RFID chips can potentially have viruses on them • People and the programmers who use and make the chips would like to make sure they’re safe. • a. Get rid of RFID chips. (Extreme) b. Kill the livestock and pets who have the chips. (Extreme) c. Make sure all chips don’t have viruses before use. (Best) • Yes this solution could be used by everyone. It treats peoples as means instead of means.
Ethical Decision Making Process • This solution is not really in accord with what is natural because you’re still inserting animals with chips.This solution is fair and not excessive on either end of the spectrum. • Yes there’d be majority agreement that it’s the most efficient and it’d produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people. • Yes I feel strongly about the solution to take precautions with these chips. • The Pragmatist philosophy was the most influential in this solution.
ACM Code • By applying the ACM code the RFID chips should not harm others. With the RFID chips having computer viruses they could possibly harm the pets and livestock. Also by making sure that the chips don’t have viruses before use, members are striving to achieve the highest quality, effectiveness and dignity in both the process and products of professional work.
