Living to 100? Oooh, that would be terrible. They are so old.

Who was the reaction of many scientists predict that many children born today will live to see 2109th Horrible? I'm sorry. The centenary of the future will have a good time and I hope I am among them.

We are entering a new era of personalized medicine, genetic testing will tell you what diseases you are at risk, and your doctor will tell you what to do. Boards should not, or expensive high-tech: a recent study has shown that coffee is the average age of the remarkable protection against Alzheimer's disease.

And continuing in the future, drop a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Scientists have shown that the introduction of genes that promote growth in the brain of the loss of fibers in the brain that occurs during the DA to compensation. Even the electric and magnetic brain stimulation promising results for diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Repeal of legislation for the prevention and cure of the dreaded specter of mental decline in old age. You could even choose to take things a step further - what makes a person sick and could not a person, the better. The old man of the future can be good, amateurism in improving the brain.

One of the biggest obstacles in old age is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness. Gene therapy, treatment is always artificial lenses and sophisticated laser means that in 100 years there is every reason to believe that the loss of eyesight is weakening under which the unfortunate few, not the majority.

Scientists are also amazing advances in prosthetics. No more days of sugar cane, scooter, the walking aid. Look forward to a future increase in bone prosthesis is not a simple replacement of the members, but an opportunity in the defective construction of the human body.

Finally, and perhaps most exciting of all are the opportunities for research on stem cells. We have a point to attend the scientists can a skin cell and turn it into a "master pluripotent cells," which reached to develop any kind of tissue in the body, brain cells, muscle or bone. This is already possible in mice.

Scientists and doctors are not on a mission to give us another 20 years in purgatory, life support machines connected. The crux of the work in the lab is for us to enjoy the health and vitality.
