From the Associated Press: “A Maine legislator wants to make the state the first to require cell phones to carry warnings that they can cause brain cancer, although there is no consensus among scientists that they do and industry leaders dispute the claim.” http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091220/ap_on_bi_ge/us_cell_phone_warnings So let me get this straight, science has NOT proven that cell phones cause brain cancer, but Maine Rep. Andrea Boland, as well as San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, each have legislation pending in their local government to put stickers on cell phones saying that it DOES cause brain cancer?!?!? Let’s put aside the libel law suits that cell phone makers will undoubtedly (and rightfully so) file, should either of these bills pass. No, what horrifies me about this is that instead of backing science, they are siding the same types of rumors that get passed around in e-mails that Snopes (and other such sites), do a good job of debunking. This “labeling” is the creationist version of things. If we don’t have scientific proof, or even any cases of brain cancer that MAY have been caused by cell phones, how can we allow our government to put a label on a cell phone stating something that there is no concrete proof is true. Look , if concrete scientific proof comes forward, I’ll be all for the labels, but until that day happens it’s irresponsible to put a label stating something that is not fact. I urge you all to e-mail both of the legislators and let them know that while their heart may be in the right place, creationist labeling is wrong. Maine Rep.
