[00:00.00]Critical illnesses could be 

[00:02.40]diagnosed earlier and we 

[00:04.26]could be confident that 

[00:05.90]even the diagnosis of 

[00:07.54]a complex disease could be 

[00:09.51]clarified and the disease could 

[00:11.81]be treated before it becomes fatal.

[00:14.66]Supposing a life threatening virus

[00:17.61]could be controlled, by inference  

[00:19.57]viruses would no longer 

[00:21.44]constitute a threat to our wellbeing.

[00:23.85]The concept or idea of people 

[00:26.58]living to an extremely old age 

[00:28.44]has been suggested. Will 

[00:31.39]the consequence of that possibility 

[00:33.47]be that people could also 

[00:35.33]maintain their intellect as they age?

[00:37.52]Will people be able to 

[00:40.14]make arrangements to have 

[00:41.57]their body or its parts 

[00:43.32]used after they die? 

[00:45.28]The donation would help others 

[00:47.47]to have some of 

[00:49.12]their body parts replaced. 

[00:50.65]Will people still have 

[00:53.17]funerals and be buried 

[00:54.59]in a grave as 

[00:55.79]is the current custom 

[00:57.21]or will cremation be 

[00:58.75]the common practice?

[01:00.39]If we wear corrective lenses 

[01:03.23]now, perhaps our vision 

[01:04.98]could be improved or restored 

[01:06.84]through laser surgery. We would 

[01:09.25]no longer need to wear glasses.

[01:11.00]The tragedy of a stroke 

[01:15.05]and the resulting mental disability

[01:17.34]could be prevented if a monitor 

[01:19.64]could analyze the person’s 

[01:21.50]condition and recommend changes 

[01:23.47]in lifestyle or treatment 

[01:24.78]that could avert a stroke 

[01:27.51]or a heart attack.

[01:28.83]An ambulance equipped with 

[01:31.78]sophisticated portable medical diagnostic equipment 

[01:34.96]could have the ability to 

[01:36.71]assess multiple injuries of 

[01:38.35]the victim of an accident. 

[01:40.75]Recovery would be assisted 

[01:43.60]by the provision of prompt treatment.

[01:46.22]The prospect of a joint 

[01:49.40]that swells, being treated 

[01:51.48]by a restraint that causes 

[01:53.23]lack of motion, is not 

[01:55.09]a new idea, but will a synthetic 

[01:57.49]joint be used to replace 

[01:59.68]the jointinstead of being treated 

[02:01.44]in the current familiar way? 

[02:05.16]Will replacement of a hip joint 

[02:06.90]become more commonplace? 

[02:08.22]Could a doctor operate on 

[02:10.84]one of our organs 

[02:12.38]without having to invade our bodies? 

[02:14.67]Could surgery be performed with 

[02:17.29]the aid of a small camera? 

[02:19.04]Will the diameter of 

[02:21.45]the lens of the camera 

[02:22.88]be so small that 

[02:24.63]it would be measured in millimeters? 

[02:26.48]The opening required to 

[02:28.35]insert the camera into 

[02:29.66]our body would be tiny.

[02:32.07]Could a microscope be used 

[02:35.13]in the study of biology to 

[02:36.55]watch the development of 

[02:38.08]a specimen of synthetic bacteria 

[02:40.16]and then the specimen be used 

[02:42.46]to create a treatment 

[02:43.99]for the disease being studied?
