Are the microchips that caused tumors the same as the VeriChip human implant?
Yes, the microchips that caused cancer in animals are virtually identical to the implant being marketed for humans. Digital Angel, the parent company of the VeriChip Corporation, manufactures both the HomeAgain® animal implant and the VeriChip human implant. Both of these devices can be seen in the photograph below. The microchip at the top is the VeriChip human implant, currently implanted in hundreds of human beings. The microchip below it is the HomeAgain® pet implant, the device that was found encased within a cancerous tumor (liposarcoma) in one dog, and adjacent to a cancerous tumor (fibrosarcoma) in another dog.
