THE OUTLOOK AND
HIDDEN
WORRIES
OF
21ST
CENTURY
MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
ln the
21st
century,
incurable
diseases should
no
longer threaten
life.
ln
about
6
years'time,
radical cure
for
AIDS
would
be
available, e.9., through
the
introduction
of gene
receptors,
biological response modifiers or
high-
potency antibiotics,
etc.
Cancer cells
may be eradicated
by
antibodies made
by
reconstituling the genetic code of
cancer cells
themselves.
With
the
discovery of
the
genetic code for
ageing, manipulation
of
the code may
enable
true longevity. Artificial
human
tissues
and
organs
like artificial skin
that
can grow, artificial
eye
lhal
has
vision
just
like
the
natural
eye,
artificial
fingers,
toes and limbs
that
have
sensory
receptors
etc,
would
be
most
enlightening.
Vaccine
against
leukaemia would also be
available.
An
activated biological
fat-digesting
enzyme
would eradicate obesity
once
and for
all.
Even the foetus benefits
lrom
a vest designed especially for
pregnant
women
-
it
can detect abnor-
mal micro-currents,
micro-sounds and
wam the mother
in
time.
However, new
problems challenging the society would
require
a
better integrated and system-
atic approach, e.9., would the cloning
of human beings
lead to
the breakdown
ol
human ethical
and
moral codes.
