      Why not? How often can you buy another sense?

      Today I mostly forget it’s there and occasionally am surprised when I reach for a running microwave, or am near high voltage lines. It’s good for party tricks - I rub my hands together to pretend to make static electricity, then pick up coins. People then try to do it and obviously fail.

        If you have a medical emergency and you need a CT scan, now you have two medical emergencies.

          CT scans don’t use magnets.

          If I need an mri, they would cut it out. If I’m unconscious they won’t use an mri, it’s too risky (what if I had shrapnel from a war wound).
