Dear Goanetters,

> "CANCER TO REMAIN INCURABLE EVEN IN 100 YEARS
>
> Cancer to remain incurable even in 100 years. The World Health Organization
> published the forecast of most common reasons of mortality in 2030. The
> picture of the possible future was based on the data of present-date causes
> of death supplemented with certain expectations. There are three most common
> reasons of mortality nowadays in the world: oncological diseases, ischemic
> heart disease and stroke.
> The WHO believes that the three most common killers will keep and even
> improve their leading positions during the next coming decades. Strangely
> enough, cancer will be killing more people despite the development of modern
> medicine: the people, who would die of other diseases before, would live up
> to cancerous diseases. Heart attacks and strokes will cause many deaths among
> elderly people due to scientific achievements in medicine too.
>
> The number of deaths in car accidents will be growing in the future. The
> technical development of the human civilization has always been ahead of the
> evolution of culture.
>
> The global death rate may also increase in the event people decide to refuse
> from vaccinations. There were such outbursts before, for example in 1873-1874
> in Stockholm, when many declined vaccination for religious reasons and fell
> victims to smallpox. The epidemic of smallpox in the Swedish capital ended
> only as a result of massive vaccination. Outbursts of whooping cough in
> Britain during the 1970s, measles in Holland, Ireland, Nigeria and the USA
> during the 2000s occurred for the same reason.
>
> Acute respiratory infections, TB, malaria and child labor death rates will
> decrease. The forecast of the World Health Organization includes the
> countries of the golden billion and the third world states, where the
> above-mentioned death rate is especially high. The decrease of the overall
> death rate in Africa and South-East Asia will depend on the state of the
> world economy. If mankind goes through a decade of the economic recession,
> similar to the Great Depression of 1929-1940, the humanitarian missions in
> developing states will not be able to expand their activities.
>
> AIDS as a cause of death will be getting more frequent before 2015. The
> AIDS-related death rate will start to decrease afterwards. Specialists
> probably pin their hopes on the invention of the anti-AIDS vaccine. No one
> knows if the vaccine is ever going to become possible due to frequent
> mutations and changes of the nature of the virus. However, the death rate is
> possible to decline. Even modern therapy guarantees a considerable level of
> survival for HIV-positive individuals.
>
> Some other scientists, for example, Bryan Sykes of Oxford University, wrote
> in his book, “Adam’s Curse”, that men would disappear in the course of the
> human evolution. The scientist believes that the Y-chromosome, which is
> responsible for the male sex, will eventually disappear due to numerous
> defects. Men may become extinct in about 125,000 years, Sykes believes.
