Times Online
More than 200,000 volunteers, including long-term users, are to be monitored for at least five years to plot mobile phone use against any serious diseases they develop, including cancer and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases

You kind of make this sound like a bad idea or a problem. This study could help save lives and lead to saffer phones. How is this bad or stupid as you seem to impose? This is a great idea even though it's been done before.

Read that in the paper as well.
Mobiles could be the new cigarettes (according to them).

I don't think its a bad idea but I do think its been done over and over with the same conclusions
just last month we had the post (now locked to continue here)
Latest (largest) study Disputes mobile phone-Cancer Link from axxr which said
Quote:
A Danish study (the largest study to date) published in the Journal of the
National Cancer Institute finds that mobile phones do not trigger cancer.
"Scientists tracked 420,000 Danish mobile phone users, including 52,000 who had owned phones for 10 years or more, and some who started using them 21 years ago.
They matched phone records to the famed Danish Cancer Registry that records every citizen who gets the disease nd reported Tuesday that Mobile-phone callers are no more likely than anyone else to suffer a range of cancer types.
"We found no evidence for an association between tumor risk and cellular telephone use among either short-term or long-term users. Moreover, the narrow confidence intervals provide evidence that any large association of risk of cancer and cellular telephone use can be excluded."
"As the body of evidence accumulates, people can become more reassured that these devices are safe, but the final word is not there yet," said Joshua Muscat of Pennsylvania State University, who also has studied cell phones and cancer.
The Danish Cancer Society plan to continue tracking the Danish callers until at least some have used the phones for 30 years."
so this new one seems to be a repeat of that
but yes, of course, if there is any new links that can be proved it would be great
whether that would actually save lives I am unsure as mobile phone manufacturers are constantly trying to reduce power, not neccessarily with the concern to health but to give longer battery life
