I ask this question because today (March 31 2006) saw the publication of the most extensive scientific study (led by a Doctor who supports prayer as part of healing) that has yet been undertaken into the effect of prayer on healing. One finding was that, at best, prayer has a neutral effect (in other words, a waste of time), and in another case it found a negative effect (it was associated with incidents of extreme complication following surgery). A link to the news story is below.\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-03-30-prayer-study-qanda_x.htm
