The impact of the genetic revolution on health services

The genetic revolution will completely redefine the meaning of health, transform disease management and totally wipe out many diseases.  It will also create huge resource problems and urgent ethical dilemmas.  The same tools to destroy cancer and cure diabetes could also permanently alter the human race. (Lecture outline by Dr Patrick Dixon - physician and futurist).

bullet Selection of "intelligent" or "athletic" IVF embryos
bullet New hair follicles for the bald
bullet Replacement brain cells to enhance memory
bullet Enabling pensioners to give birth.
bullet Reversal or arrest of aging process
bullet Adding new genes to sperm or eggs
bullet Cloning of the living - and the dead

Demand will be driven by wealthy well-informed consumers, making their own arrangements online for the bio-enhancements they think they need.  Health service providers, insurers and governments will struggle to adapt last-century care models.

Tomorrow's headlines will include:

bullet Hundreds of genes linked to diseases and personal profiles
bullet Preventative medicine becomes a precise risk-management science
bullet Health messages targeted exactly at those at risk
bullet Accurate predictions about individual response to medication
bullet Claims that marker genes help predict personality and intelligence
bullet Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and other disorders
bullet Stem cell repairs for damaged heart, liver, brain, muscle, bone  and spine
bullet Nanotechnology to test or deliver - microbots - injectable bio-machines
bullet New vaccines for malaria, HIV, cervical cancer
bullet Birth of "replacement" clones of dead children
bullet Campaigns against commercial exploitation of human genes / patents
bullet Concern about a genetic underclass unable to get life or health insurance
bullet More laws against genetic discrimination in the workplace
bullet Shifts from treatment to prevention, and from prevention to life-enhancement
bullet Growing reaction against performance-related genetic refits at a time when 2/3rds of the world lacks even basic health care

But human needs will remain unchanged:  to be loved, to be needed, to be cared for, to be comforted.  Compassionate, sensitive, professional, expert help will always command the highest respect. Trusted professionals will be in even greater demand in a rapidly changing and confusing world.  We need to combine all the best care values of the past with the tools of the future, helping people live active and fulfilling lives.
