Medical Breakthroughs to Transform Healthcare Over Next 30 Years

Humans will cultivate transplant organs using their own DNA, eliminating deadly risks like waiting for matches and rejection. Bio-prosthetics will connect directly to the nervous system, delivering sensations nearly identical to real touch. Robotic first responders and limb-preservation technologies such as controlled cooling will significantly extend the "golden hour" for rescues. Scientists will uncover the causes of aging, extending human lifespan and creating a large population of healthy, active "seniors."

However, challenges loom. The high cost of advanced medical facilities will strain global healthcare systems, widening the gap in life-saving resources between the rich and poor. Longer lifespans may intensify competition between young and old for jobs and resources. Superbugs with extreme drug resistance will also pose a major threat worldwide.
