Medical Marvels in the Man of the Future
Nick and Max Johnson


A future technological miracle is coming. Humans are being integrated with machines. Scientists are making devices that could improve your health drastically. During the next twenty years scientists will come out with a range of technological marvels. Sick people will become healthy. People who need new hearts and kidneys will have just what they asked for: new hearts and kidneys. People of the future will have muscle strengtheners, high tech band-aids that can repair the heart, laser scanned eyes, four-dimensional vision, superior orthopedic joints and limbs and more. Five selected medical marvels are as follows.
 

The first medical marvel that scientists are making is a state of the art artificial heart. This unique design, the Abiocor, is a one of a kind heart. It is made of light, strong titanium, looking not quite like a heart but like a metal cylinder. Unfortunately it can only fit 50% of the male population and stops working in a year or two. This artificial heart will come out within the next five years.
 

The second of five miracle wording medical marvels is the artificial fiber lung. Researchers at the University of Pitt are working on the world’s first implantable lung. This awesome lung is in a tube shaped design and will be made of gas permeable micro fibers. This lung pulls in oxygen and then expels the oxygen through the fibers into the blood. As carbon dioxide leaves this amazing lung it moves toward a compact pump stationed at the hip. The implantable lung will be introduced in six to ten years and will definitely help human life.
 

The next marvel is a kidney in a tube. About 62,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney. This device could solve all their problems. Researchers in Rhode Island are putting kidney cells to work in a dialysis machine (a contraption that takes over for your kidneys when they have fail). As this contraption filters blood through this kidney, its cells will grab nutrients and return them to the pure blood. In six to ten years scientists in the University of Michigan will implant smaller versions into the bodies of volunteers. This will help purify these peoples’ blood.
 

Researchers at the University M.I.T. in a short while will come out with a heart bandage that expands with the heart beat. After a heart attack, this astonishing band-aid is made with real heart cells. This patch will replace damaged tissue and will actually beat with your heart side by side. This heart band-aid will come out about fifteen years from now.
 

The last of these amazing medical marvels involves the stem cells in an ordinary hair follicle. Believe it or not the Anticancer Company in San Diego has recently created neurons from stem cells in an ordinary follicle. These neurons are said to treat nerve damage and like brain dysfunc-tions Alzheimer and Parkinson’s. The cell will be lab grown and will come out in six to ten years.
 

These medical marvel miracles will help humans for decades and will address new problems in decades to come. These are just five of the 19 medical marvels being created. The other ones will be talked about and examined in article.
