Increasingly our society is
being inundated with information wirelessly, through emissions of
electromagnetic waves (EMF). Any room you enter is being blanketed with ever
increasing amounts of, in some cases, highly powerful electromagnetic waves.
These waves carry everything from cell phone traffic to wireless internet
signals, to even conventional AM/FM radio signals. Although humans and animals
cannot perceive most of these electromagnetic frequencies, they can affect
biological organisms in many ways that scientists currently do not even
understand. Even further, demand for such wireless applications is growing in
terms of both signal strength and bandwidth. This leads to the important
question of whether at some point the signals will become so powerful and
transmitted at so high a frequency that they may begin to cause adverse symptoms
in biological organisms as a result. This paper will focus on the ethical
implications of developing such technologies without yet having scientific
research that demonstrates its safety for humans and animals...
