Truth we all have freedom of choice. The original poster. I'm not sure what they are asking.
Medical alerts is a broad term. Could mean a necklace saying they are allergic to ????????

The same question, I regularly ask. Why know or CARE, what others choose to do. I think people can be chipped as is done for pets. What is the chance that a medical tech would know to look for that or have the equipment to read it. Many have all their important information on a cell phone. After taking your wallet, with your money and ID a mugger will take your cell phone. Perhaps, one with their left hand and the other with their right hand.
