I would hazard a guess that it will involve Epigenetics.
A better understanding of gene regulation will lead to a cure for Cystic Fibrosis (for instance). Meanwhile, however, we are running into an age where antibiotic resistance will lead to a significant health crisis. Don't buy any green bananas.

Theres some very exciting things going on these days in diabetes research. The data suggests that newer protein therapies can dramatically lower insulin resistance in DM2. Not exactly a sexy breakthrough but taking a step towards potentially curing DM2 is a big deal

The post antibiotic future.
Less surgeries. More childhood deaths. Well more deaths. Hospitals being death traps. TB becoming the number 1 killer again |

This could make prisoner cell extractions much, much easier. That said: The barrier between mind and machine is about to crumble. We will not only be able to control prosthetic limbs, but we will be able to directly control our computers with our thoughts. Think about this: you'll be able to control and program your own robot from afar! Police and security people will love this idea. |

There will be a Manhattan project/Apollo program in scope government-funded stem cell effort to grow genitals for people who want to mutilate themselves undergo gender reassignment.
Within 10 years. |

I imagine the future intersection of 3D printing and transplant medicine.
"Researchers have made a giant leap towards the goal of 'bio-printing' transplantable tissues and organs for people affected by major diseases and trauma injuries, a new study reports. Scientists have bio-printed artificial vascular networks mimicking the body's circulatory system that are necessary for growing large complex tissues." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/06/140630103136.htm 3D printed skull transplant and human lungs successfully made in lab for first time |

I would not be shocked to see petri dish replacement organs some day soon, as well as genetic manipulation of embryos.
I remember back in the late 80s when the whole "designer baby" thing sort of came and went... I think it will come back. And probably either give us the I Am Legend vampires, Kahn from Star Trek or just a bunch of Village of the Damned type Aryans again. |
