Just do a proper test

BBC News - Mobile phone effect on fertility - 'research needed'

I see from the side links to this story that there has been speculation for at least a decade that mobile phones might be affecting sperm cells, at least if the phone is worn close to their traditional mobile storage facilities.

Surely the way to get some definitive evidence of this is to recruit sufficient university students (cut out those who use marijuana or other drugs) who carry phones in their shirt, test their "boys", and then give them a belt pouch for their phone and get them to use that in the same front facing position for (I don't know?) 3 to 6 months, and re-test them.

That seems better than all this survey evidence, and laboratory testing of exposing samples to radiation, doesn't it?

The 'right' have no shame at all.

We simply do not know whether they are stark raving mad and ,living on another planet like Katesy or goebellising like Davidson ( smoking is a great example as I show).

I think your comment was meant for the previous post?

A poltergeist at work, a mobile one at that!

It could simply be the heat from the mobile phone, that alone is a risk factor for reduced sperm counts.
