Future Developments-( Will there be cures for different diseases?- changing genetics)

What diseases will have cures? Will it be right to use this. Do we have the right to stop someone from dying? How long will it take? What kind of jobs will stem off from this? Will it include changing genetics, altering fetuses to be born with no chance of catching even a cold? Where will it start? Who will it be available to? How much will the research and cure cost? Will it be used properly? Will doctors and hospitals be needed if this is discovered? Will it lead to different interview techniques to decide who gets the job? Will people that are able to afford the cure and be protected be thought better than those who cant? Will this create segregation like blacks vs. Whites? What kind of power will this give people? How will this impact the types of jobs available for both types of people? Will there be any side effects? What will the repercussions be? Will this cause over population to occur? Will this increase the rate that the Earth is dying?
