[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 1 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 2 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 3 the person’s

[01:21.50]condition and recommend changes

[01:23.47]in lifestyle or treatment

[01:24.78]that could avert 4 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 5 of a joint 6

[01:49.40]that swells 7, 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 8

[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 9 of a hip 10 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 11 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
