Future of Medicine

Within the next few years it is likely that scientists will be able to grow organs to replace worn out or diseased organs. These will be grown from a single cell taken from the person. This will enable us to extend the lives of people.

In the same way they will be able to take a cell from a plant or animal and grow an entirely new type of creature, for example an animal with two heads. The discoveries of science have given us enormous power. This is one reason why this website is important. You need to understand the basic facts of science so you can help to decide how these discoveries are to be used (or not used).
