Some senior citizens or even mid-aged people might believe
or feel that their bodies have been overused, maltreated, and have no bright
future in store for them. In a nutshell, they are stuck in their own belief
that fete is over for them. Would
you agree on their gloomy mindset? Well, I beg to differ.
With the incredibly advanced developments in the field
of medicine and pharmaceutical Sciences, we can predict and prevent the
potential disorder or illnesses that would be likely to occur in our bodies.
According to Dr. Joohan Kim (from Seoul National University in South Korea), Biomedical and Health Informatics (BMHI)
makes it possible for your body to be meticulously analyzed in advance, which
reveals strengths and weaknesses of your DNA. This remarkable approach in the
medical field is more about the quality of life rather than lengthening life
span. In other words, this advanced medical strategy and tactic would help us –
who could have somewhat dreary
picture of our own health and future – stay positively in good shape. Not an uptalk of something plausible, but an
active means of living better for the rest of our lives. I am already seeing
quite a few people around sending their hair to local hospitals to find out if
they are on the right track health wise.
One major concern with BMHI could be the possibility of
abusive uses of the technology. What if employers secretly screen the potential
employees’ DNA and give favor to the ones with superior(?) DNA? How about the
colleges and universities taking advantage of leaked DNA information of their
applicants?
As long as BMHI is used with its righteous goal, the
rest of our lives would look bright, because the more accurate we know about
ourselves, the better tomorrow can we expect. I believe that living one’s life
in the best physical state, actively doing the parkour through and around nasty corners and avoiding obstacles, is
not an impalpable fairy tale
anymore.
