[QUOTE="johnd13"]

[QUOTE="xboxiphoneps3"] yeah man it sounds very promising, us humans are moving at a ridicolous rate technology wise, pretty hard to believe we have all these things we have today... i even read somewhere there will be a good amount of baby boomers still alive in the late 21st century/early 22nd century xboxiphoneps3

That last part seems like science-fiction to me. Who knows? Maybe it' s time for humanity to do its greatest leap towards technological advancement and therefore in healthcare as well. I know I' ll be eager to know of any new amazing discoveries.

I mean it doesnt sound too far off though, i dont know if you heard of the Singularity but its when supercomputers are finally smarter then us and these machines will just be rapidly upgrading them selves at exponential rates and probably just about every aspect of our technology will be radically changed by these ultraintelligent machines doing every single thing for us...they say it could be the last thing humanity ever needs to make. Of course this is all in the future, but look at where we are at now, its quite amazing really

Been reading/listening to Ray Kurzweil?

To be honest you should take Kurzweil's techno-worship with a huge grain of salt.

[QUOTE="xboxiphoneps3"][QUOTE="Wolfetan"] My mom doesn't, she says she wants to die:(johnd13

even 10 years can make a big difference, i think i read somewhere that health care in 10 years will be like 1000x better then it is now, but genome sequencing is getting cheaper by the day and scientists are making some serious progress in the health field,

If that' s true then it' s great news. For my parents and me of course. ;)

 

@wolfetan I' m sorry that your mother thinks like that :(

She won't try anything, I know that for a fact, but that is how she thinks :( She has high blood pressure and is sick almost everyday, ranging from a cold/fever to back hurts a ton and many other things. She worries too much too, and she is only 45:(

Both of my grandfathers died 20+ years before I was born. There isn't even any pictures of them that still exist. My paternal grandmother died before I ever got a chance to meet her. And my maternal grandmother died a little over a year after I finally met her.

None :(

My grandmother (father's mom) died when I was 8, and I think my grandfather (mom's dad) died when I was around 12 (maybe a little later). I remember my grandmother's death more since it happened on Christmas Eve. Worst Christmas ever. I don't even remember what I got.
