What will medicine be in 100 years?

in medicine •  6 years ago 

According to some scientists, the average life expectancy of a person will exceed 130-150 years (when the other part claims that human life can hardly cross the 110-120-year boundary). This will contribute to improving the quality of nutrition and living standards, as well as medical technology.

Medication for AIDS, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease

Despite the pessimistic forecasts of very many specialists who think that the medicine "from AIDS" does not exist in fact, scientists believe in the best. Especially in this matter, they hope for the development of molecular chemistry, which help, in their opinion, will find a cure for these diseases.

By the way, the cure for HIV, on the contrary, has already been invented: it is modern antiretroviral therapy, which allows sick people to live with the disease for many years (up to 70 years, and on average 30-40 years from the date of diagnosis). But this is only supportive therapy; a drug that would once and for all put an end to the disease, there is still no. The reason for this - an incredibly fast mutation of the virus, which has time to adapt to any drug.

Cloning and organ transplantation

But this forecast, probably, could already become a reality, if not for state prohibitions. Nevertheless, scientists hope that the development of cloning technologies will still allow the growth of "spare" organs and lost tissues.

Select the sex of the child

Another theme that is not pleasing to God is the choice of sex and even the appearance of the unborn child. And yet, doctors believe that the development of genetics will allow doing this in the future (unless, of course, legislative prohibitions interfere). They are even convinced that parents will be able to choose the inclinations of the future child, his talents and abilities. In my opinion, this, of course, is doubtful, since the nature of talent is still covered with a dense darkness of mystery - both for scientists and for the gifted people themselves. But at the expense of the rest - who knows?

Clinics in orbit

Those, in the opinion of scientists, will be needed for the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Why in orbit? In conditions of weightlessness, as scientists believe, such operations will be faster and more efficient. True, they do not mention the cost of such a procedure, adding that in the orbit it will be possible to obtain ultrapure medicines.

Bacteria-symbionts

Creation of these creatures will contribute to the development of genetic engineering. Symbionts will live in the human body and, if necessary, produce and release into the blood of the host the necessary hormones, pain medications, antibiotics and other medications.

Nano robots

An alternative to living bacteria. These tiny devices, having settled in the blood of a person, will destroy cancer cells, clean the vessels, heal the injuries and generally "repair" our body.

Sensor Injection

Another foreign body in the human body will be a telemetry sensor that will constantly monitor the health status of its owner and promptly give signals in case of problems. And not to himself, but to the nearest hospital.

Doctors-robots

Such, according to scientists, should appear in every home. In addition to economic hassles, robots can perform simple medical manipulations, for example, a relaxing massage or an injection.

Of course, one cannot count on the absolute accuracy of such forecasts. But was it in 1915 that someone was thinking that people could exchange instant messages around the world, using millions of gigabytes of information?
