I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Disease Zone. It has scientists studying the causes and processes of illness . Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
I hope my future includes a nice beach house, a couple of dogs and horses….
But in regards to the world future…..
I reckon far far far into the future, we’ll all look like one race! There are already a lot of mixed marriages and kids from different backgrounds, I think in the end we’ll all be a nice mix of everything! Many diseases will be cured (hooray!), we’ll probably live even longer than now, but be healthier. I think in the future, we’ll have a magic pill to keep you fit and thing, so you don’t have to worry about diet or exercise.
I do think there’ll be less empty places in the world, because we’ll have more people! Maybe bunch of them (probably the rich) will have ended up living on the moon or other places outside the earth! Or giant space ships…..
The answer to your question is endless!!!

Dear Sarahb; It is very good question. We should think of the future seriously in many aspects, such as world economics, environment, energy, population, climate, etc. I will limit my answer to human health aspects only, specially ageing.
People’s life span will be increased very rapidly and it is not surprising to expect average life span of 100 years in many countries due to development of medical science and technology. People can change parts of organ as need; the first kidney transplantation was done in 1950 in USA, even the first heart transplant was done almost 50 years ago in Africa.
However, long life itself doesn’t necessarily mean happiness and blessing, I am afraid. In a paper I read, statistics predict that everybody will have Alzheimer’s disease or some sort of dementia if lived up to 140 years.
Science somehow should find ways to keep people healthy in body and mind as well. Otherwise, my craziest idea of future is that there may be too many crazy people in the world.
