Yeah, but adding something that millions of people remember as a way to catalog and systematically murder them isn't helping the situation.

- simoncion 3y agoAnd many, many more millions of people are somewhere between "neutral towards" and "I have absolutely no problem with" tattoos. And if you explain to the ones that -personally- do have a problem with it why you want to tattoo an ID on them, and explain it near the start of the process where their mind is eaten away, so they have a solid chance to understand what you're saying, there's a high likelihood that those folks would consent to the process... especially those who've personally interacted at length with someone who's been largely-erased by dementia.
- Blackthorn 3y agoNo offense but have you ever talked with holocaust survivors? These folks often won't even interact with government services that require identification.
- willcipriano 3y agoSounds like it won't work for them. Further I think you can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery with tattoos. It will work for lots of other people though.
- jojobas 3y agoHolocaust survivors are a infinitesimal minority among elderly people, it's pretty much a non-consideration. There are probably more people with tattoo dye allergy if you want to go down that alley.
- LorenPechtel 3y agoAmazingly, I find there were 161 thousand in Israel as of last year. I would have thought age would have taken a lot more of them by now--but with an average age of 85.5 they're dropping rapidly. I do agree it's not an issue overall, whatever you do won't cover everyone anyway and any large-scale system takes a while to deploy--there will be a lot less by the time it's ready to use.
