Do Cell Phones Cause Cancer?
Yes. No. Yes. No. Maybe. It seems the headlines are different every week. Scientists around the world, however, have signed an international resolution urging caution and more rigorous research.
Cell phones are obviously here to stay, and there have been a few times when I was glad I had one. But should we use them more wisely?

Hi, Great article. Especially the Kids Section. I'm in Europe -- where this topic gets a lot more unbiased coverage--yet a survey was just released that said the top item on 4years olds list of Holiday gifts was a cell phone.
Like you said Kim, cell phones are obviously here to stay and will be used earlier and earlier in life (which means more exposure) so thanks again for the coverage.

Great article. I got rid of the wireless router in our house because of safety concerns. We have a two story house so the wireless router was very convenient, but I just wasn't sure about the long term effects. For a while we had a cable running from the upstairs to the downstairs computer. Eventually we deciced to just pay for two separate cable connections. It is expensive, but I'd rather play it safe.

Hello Bioneers - A friend of mine is doing a survey on cellphone safety that he just passed on to me. Kim's great article seemed like a nice heading to place it under and show you the questions to get you thinking more about the subject:
Great...Let's get started:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being the safest), how convinced are you that cell phones are safe for you and your family? ____________
What makes you feel that way? ___________________________________________________
How long have you been using a cell phone? _________________________________
How many minutes do you use monthly? __________________
Do you have children or grandchildren who use a cell phone? ____________
Are you concerned about their safety long term? ___________________________________________________________
If anyone wants more info just send me a request...
