I know that people get tired of me ruining good "think of the children" debates with this question but here goes anyway: What if the worst is true? What if one in every 100,000 people who uses a cellphone extensively during a lifetime is killed horribly by it? Would you stop using yours? If so, why do you still ride in cars? I once saw an activist against the EM fields from power lines smoke 5 cigarettes while pontificating about the illnesses the lines in his yard might cause. It all comes down to statistics and rationality. It seems humanity has chosen a technological path of growth instead of being content with 40 year lives of subsistence farming. We're gonna need those radio whatsits to get off this rock and preserve the species. Hopefully if there is something to weak EM / cancer thing, we'll evolve immunity to it before we get into space and get into the real radiation. (Or perhaps, advance to the "oops, you've got a DNA error, let me fix that for you" stage.) Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not advocating head in the sand denialism of any possible ill effects, I'm just advocating rational, proportional responses to the possible danger verses the more common, knee-jerk "it might cause cancer ban them all!" responses.
