X-Rays (a form of radiation) have been proved harmful in humans and other
life.  Magnetism has never shown any side effects on living organisms.

  When was the last time that you heard of Magnetism sickness, now how about
radiation sickness?

 I'll be more than happy to have an MRI every day for a month, no worries
here.  Now, having an x-ray every day for a month, I'd object to.  I did not
mean that just because it happens everyday it's harmless.  I was trying to
show that an MRI machine is basically a huge magnet.

Yeah...  and by that same standard, X-Ray photography is also
harmless, since
it 'happens every day' in hospitals.  The thing is, it happens
every day but
not on one and the same person, but different individuals every time.
Whether something is harmful vastly depends on the exposure over time.

If you'd take an MRI scan every day for like a month or so, you
might change
your viewpoint...
