Question

Everyone knows what a bank is. But do you know that there is an “eye bank” in China?

“Eye bank” is a database of iris information (虹膜信息数据库) of Chinese children. Zhaobao Technology started it to help police identify (鉴定) children.

Iris is a part of the eye. It is very special because people have different irises. We all know that no two people have the same fingerprints (指纹). Although people have different fingerprints, the Irises work better than fingerprints. Because they won’t change much as long as you are 18 months old. That sounds cool, right? So this is your special ID card. And that’s why iris information can be useful in identifying lost children and help people to find the lost children.

Now there is over 93,000 Chinese children’s iris information in the database. The Zhaobao Technology says writing iris information into the eye bank only takes a few seconds and will not bring any harm (伤害) to the children. But still, the company is now facing a few problems, because some parents worry that their children’s information can be in danger, and it will bring some harm to their family.
