Today's Science: Cell Phone Studies

[browngirl]

Fraud Charges Cast Doubt on Claims of DNA Damage From Cell Phone Fields, in the current issue of Science. My friend dakiwiboid, who brought this to my attention, has reposted a synopsis of the article (since there is a charge for reading the whole thing, although the link above is fairly extensive as well).

So, some actual research is needed. But it does come to my mind that having cell phones 'proven' dangerous seemed to be, for many people, a neat confluence of science and morality; annoying cell phone users risked being punished with DNA damage and the disorders that follow on from it. However science, while it must be practiced with ethics to be any use, doesn't have a moral vector in its laws like that.
