They've had cell-implantable processors delivered by retrovirus since 08, and something remarkably similiar to forcefields was proven to work in 06(plasma window). Transhumanism will undoubtedly be here soon. I'm assuming it'll be as popular in the developed world as computers are today. And if they work on making nanobots that can replicate up to a certain limit in the human body, it'll be cheap as hell. Only a few (or even one) would need to be manufactured for each person, probably to be taken in the form of a pill.

Survival of the fittest no longer applies. Fast fact; the Human population has ,for as long as far back as can be predicted, remained around the 2 billion mark. In the last 100 years this has tripled and by 2050 the human population will be require the resources of four Earths. Rise of miracle Healthcare has beaten Survival of the fittest. On a Eugenic note what we see as admirable features are in fact being bred out as "Ideal" successful parents only have an average of 2.5 children while lesser off parents have larger families. Most of the Asian.


Its like that old Doctor Who episode. Remembrance of the Daleks where loads of rich people get cryogenicly frozen so that when science catches up to their diseases they'll be brought back to life only... no one wants them.

Actually, before that happens our galaxy is most likely going to be smashed into the Andromeda galaxy, and they'll consume one another. The survival of our solar system all depends on where we're going to be in relation to Andromeda when they collide. Worst case scenario, we're eaten by the supermassive black hole at the center of Andromeda, best case scenario, our solar system is flung into the space between galaxies.
