So is there enough research to suggest that those susceptible to cancer will be at increased risk with exposure to the rf waves of cellphones? The following study says yes: [http://www.electric-words.com/cell/radiation/adelaide.html](http://www.electric-words.com/cell/radiation/adelaide.html)

However, a similar study using ‘normal’ DNA says no: [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/06/020626071255.htm](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/06/020626071255.htm)  
and this: [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/12/001220081206.htm](http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/12/001220081206.htm)  
So, based on this, should we instill some sort of new regulation? Can we knoe who suceptible to cancer and provide warnings based on this? Or is there even a good link between the two?
