Dear CNET members, The scary Halloween monsters have gone into hibernation for another year, so no worries about them. But then there are other things that will continue to worry or scare people--such as the harmful effects of cell phone radiation. This controversial topic has been debated over many years, and people are always on the fence about it. Some express great concerns about radiation causing problems ranging from headaches to tumors, yet others are quick to state there is no scientific evidence to prove any health problems associated with wireless phone use. However, in a recent blog entry by CNET editor Molly Wood, she reports that the U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by the cell phone industry that would have stopped class-action lawsuits over potentially dangerous radiation emissions. So what does that mean? Is it a done deal that cell phone radiation does in fact have harmful effects on users? Well, whatever this ruling may or may not state, you can tell us where you stand on this subject of cell phone radiation. Is it harmful? Read what other members have brought to the discussion, and voice your opinion here.
