摘要
The marketing of cell phones to youngsters became a controversial issue. In particular, such an issue concerns the risk of children to cell-phone radiation. Nevertheless, a group set by the British Minister for Public Health to assess the current state of research into health risks from mobile phones published a report which urged that children be discouraged from using mobile phones, and that companies stop marketing to kids. Although all people are created equal, most practicing biomedical scientists believe that children's anatomy and physiology are different from that of adults.
