Can laptops be linked to Ovarian Cancer?

My parents think that my laptop is going to give me cancer. I couldn't find anything about it on the internet though. (Or maybe I just didn't look hard enough.)

I don't think it can, because when you have a laptop in your lap it is on your thighs, not near your ovaries.

There is no documented scientific data that links laptops to ovarian cancer or any type of cancer. In all fairness, there have been no studies done one way or the other. So no one really knows. However, if this bothers you or your parents a solution might be to use a lap desk to place the laptop on while using it.

It does have an effect cause its radiation and heat that is on your lap.

i have a laptop and i do not know about a woman but if you search for health dangers for men and laptops there is alot and it says do not keep it on your lap because it can decrease fertility by up to 40%

so i always have a pillow or something like that to rest it on my lap

just maybe use a pillow just to be safe

I have never heard of this rumor, however I have just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I have been using my laptop for years.

It has been proven that some of the chemicals, if directly exposed to the human body, can produce cancer cells. However, it is very unlikely for a person to have cancer from just having a laptop sitting on their lap. You would have to crack open the motherboard and swallow it for the cells to penetrate your body well enough.
