Ya, we are going to have legions of brain tumored kids down the road according to scientists.

"Researchers have speculated for more than 10 years that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones may damage DNA and cause benign brain tumors, said Henry Lai, a bioengineering professor at the University of Washington."

"When you use a cell phone, 70 to 80 percent of the energy emitted from the antenna is absorbed by the head, Lai said."

"He also said that because brain tumors usually take 30-40 years to develop, children who use cell phones from their teen years onward would have a longer period of time to see a cumulative impact."
