The future is indeed exciting. With new technologies and innovations, potential exists to truly help people around the world achieve optimum health status. But, there are concerns. For example, with more and more research, humans will find more ways to extend life. Is such an extension of life worth it? If innovations and technologies come along that, say, help people live as long as they want...what will that do to the current overpopulation problem? With new technologies, is there a way to ensure that this technologies will be distributed equitably amongst all citizens of the world?
As public health leaders, we must be aware of potential challenges and issues. It is only with this awareness that we can maximize the potential of the future.
