The year is 2040, and medicine worldwide is highly advanced. Humans no longer fear certain diseases, as vaccines have been developed for them. Cancer is already highly treatable and is no longer a death sentence as it was in the near past. There are even talks for further development of a special anti-cancer vaccine which should be produced in the following years. The life expectancy of human beings is estimated to be more than a hundred years with a prediction to reach even more in the following decades. Mental illnesses that were not completely treatable like schizophrenia will be due to our advanced understanding of the human brain. Nanotechnologies, such as robotics will further help in treating serious illnesses and during operations.

Global warming under control Several actions taken - by local communities, governments globally, schools and universities, corporations and myself and my colleagues - have determined the change in the global warming landscape for the better. The actions are implemented and mapped and are maintained in periodic execution according to plan. Floods, storms, landslides, excess rain and drought minimized monitored and minimized.

I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
