Medical Miracles on the Horizon

Medical Miracles on the Horizon

         The world and its inhabitants will face a multitude of problems in the
21st Century, including drug addiction, deadly disease, violent crime, warfare
and hostility, hunger, and homelessness to name a few.  All of these critical
issues have been present to some extent in the 20th Century and, left unsolved,
will continue to plague society and mankind as we enter the new millennium.   As
we rapidly approach the next era, new issues of equal or even greater importance
for mankind will almost certainly arise.  I personally envision health issues,
concerns related directly to medicine, as the central, most critical and

also being used to treat and reduce the growing rate of suicide in all ages of
our society.  Because a very high percentage of homeless people suffer from
psychological problems and/or drug addictions, doctors may also eventually play
a larger role in prescribing medication for these individuals.  Concerning
warfare that may be present into the 21st Century, the medical community will be
required to detect and treat a variety of injuries and illnesses, just as they
have had to decipher and work on patients who fell victim to the Gulf War
Syndrome.  Any future wars may have even more insidious side-effects due to the
use of lethal chemicals.
         Cures have been found for many illnesses, such as polio, smallpox, and
various childhood diseases in the present century, but other health concerns are
manifesting rapidly.  O...
