The gift of medicine

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

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.

Einigkeit macht stark
The Ukraine war and Trump's government have shaken the Europeans awake. Peace was imposed on Ukraine, Nato membership was prevented by the USA and admission to the EC was completed. The EC founded a joint army and stationed part of it in Ukraine. The bureaucracy was radically simplified, applications must be completed within 6 months at the latest. Great Britain is back in the EC. Decisions by the Council of Europe require 60 percent approval. The blockade attitude of individual states no longer exists.

Es wäre schön
It would be nice if viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were considered eradicated in 2040. It would be nice if it were possible to determine at birth whether a child is likely to have serious illnesses that can then be eradicated immediately. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer played a role. Because there are wars because of religion. Wars that can be prevented.

Future : retour vers le passé
In fact, I think the future is horrible; I'd like to go back to the real values of the 1970s and 1980s; I'd like a world without war, without violence, where people appreciate each other; I'd like to go back to a less technological world, while keeping the good sides of this technology, the useful side, but without scam, spam, with real encounters, not virtual ones.I'd like to rediscover love between humans, not this dehumanization where machines replace human contact.

Tout va bien dans le meilleur des mondes
For me, the future would be a world without war, with everyone getting on well, everyone getting enough to eat, no more fatal diseases in the foreseeable future thanks to advances in medicine, artificial intelligence and so on, tightly controlled immigration and the lifelong sheltering of all these criminals.
