their health. A dilemma presents itself for many of these products, however, because they are in great consumer demand. The automobile and the airplane for example both have become
irreplaceable elements in our everyday lives but they are responsible for a tremendous number of fatalities every year. Many of the drugs that we depend on can have both
beneficial and deleterious impacts to our health. Even common electrical appliances can backfire and do irreparable harm to their users. Never-the-less, we as a society continue to use
these technological marvels. We do so knowing that there is a chance that we be harmed at one time another as a result of that use. Cell phones
are a particularly relevant example of this type of reasoning. More and more research is correlating cell phone usage with brain cancer. Our government, however, still considers that
research inconclusive and has yet to place any sort of extensive restrictions on cell phone design, availability, and use. What will the government do, however, if definitive research is
completed that irrefutably identifies cell phones as a causative agent in these cases of brain cancer? How can the government regulate a technology that is in such high demand?
The answer to the questions presented above can be found just by looking at other products that have been in high
demand yet present certain risks to their users. Automobiles and airplanes, for example, are certainly regulated by the government but that regulation has done relatively little to lower the
