Take that phone and stick it....
Here's a news item that ought to be great for the cell phone industry: Mobile phones cut sperm up to 30pcNo need for all men to panic, but those wanting to have children who are having trouble might think twice about where they put their phones. I'm a licensed ham, and one of the things they drill into you when you study for the exams is the dangerous nature of radio emissions. (A cell phone, of course, is both a transmitter and a receiver.) Depending on the wavelength, exposure time, and proximity to the transmitter, radio emissions can cause cataracts and sterility. Just one of the risks of life, however minute it might be. I don't know why anyone would be surprised. It goes without saying, of course, that cell phones transmit from wherever they are located. posted by Eric on 06.28.04 at 06:28 AM |

Great. Another Japanese custom that lowers fertility; just what we (and the National Pension system) need.
