I've recently started reading a book called "Darwin's Children", which is about how years from now, children start being born with a "virus" that gives them higher abilities. People consider it the next stage of evolution, and naturally people are afraid of these kids, consider them mutants, etc.
If one year everything seemed to change and kids started being born with abilities that gave them "psychic powers", made them faster than the rest of us, smarter, etc, what do you think would happen? Do you think paranoia would ensue? Would people be terrified of them as they are of the mutants in X-Men? Lol! I think people might harbor prejudices against them as we do people of different cultures, races, etc, nowadays, because they are so different than us. It's an interesting question.
It also reminds me of the "Indigo Children" phenomenon that I read about a couple of years ago while researching a paper on alternative spirituality. Supposedly they are "Children of the New Earth"...?
