HUMAN MAGNET FIGHTING FOR MUTANT RIGHTS
August 22 2010
London, U.K. – In our short time on the planet human beings have displayed and impressive set of skills in adapting to the world around us. No other species has been able to adapt so thoroughly or so quickly and enabled themselves to live in such
diverse and challenging environments. In recent years we have been able to manipulate the environment in order to suit our needs but even that is an adaptation that no species has ever been able to accomplish on the planet.
Because of that success there is every reason to believe that we will continue to adapt and evolve to new environments. Strange stories of seemingly impossible human abilities have been replete throughout history and while most of them have been debunked as trickery and subterfuge, a few have continued to defy the most ardent investigations by scientists. That has led many to believe that there are latent abilities inside us, abilities that will one day manifest themselves in every human being. While many of those abilities – things like psycho kinesis or telepathy – have the ring of wish fulfillment there may still be hidden talents awaiting us sometime in the future. Such appears to be the case with a London woman who has apparently developed the unique talent of attracting metal objects to her skin which has inspired her to speak out on mutant issues throughout the world.
“Whether it is keys or coins these things just stick to my skin as though I were a magnet. This is something that I have only discovered recently and while it was interesting at first it has become an annoyance with people constantly trying to stick things to me,” said Brenda Allison. “However I will not be undone by these things. I feel a responsibility to speak for other people like me and to fight for their rights. We cannot be the object of ridicule or scorn, we are human beings and we deserve all the rights and respect that any other person deserves.”
Allison stated that she discovered her magnetism during one of her regular coin diving sessions.
“There is a great deal of scepticism over this woman’s claim even though such cases
have been documented in the past. There is no way to prove that this woman has any 
kind of special attraction to metal objects though basic logic would suggest that there is some kind of trickery involved. Human beings have a residual magnetic field but not enough to actually attract objects,” said Scrape TV Science analyst Dr. Howard Poe. “Plus she is sticking things that would not attach themselves to a magnet such as coins. Most coins are alloys and don’t have enough attractive metal to be attracted by anything other than a super powerful magnet. If she were such a device she would be pulling cars towards her as she walked down the street given her size and mass and that is not happening.”
Allison has also lamented the fact that she is now forced to eat with plastic utensils and is unable to pay in cash any longer. 
“If this were genuine I could certainly see her issues and concerns. She would certainly be a freak and would suffer shame and ridicule just like anyone else who is different. That is not fair but it is human nature whether we like it or not,” continued Poe. “However in such a case that would most likely be detrimental to human society. Though it is fictional the depiction of the rebel mutant leader Magneto brought a great deal of harm to human society because he was classed as a freak and that is not something we would want to have happen in real life. Perhaps her claims deserve closer investigation.”
Allison currently lives in a regular home but government officials have been mulling a plan to construct a plastic facility in which she can live.
