Forbes magazine came up with a few lists describing what will happen in the next 10 years in different areas. Medicine is one of these:

We asked our staff and contributors to forecast some of the noteworthy events of the next 10 years, a vision of the coming decade sketched from real data, projections and facts whenever possible–though we’ve injected a dose of rigorous science fiction to fill the gaps.

  • 2012: Super-Tuberculosis
  • 2013: DNA Sequencing Pays
  • 2014: Big Pharma Implodes
  • 2015: first autism drug
  • 2016: first fatherless child using synthetic sperm
  • 2017: U.S. life expectancy declines for first time in a century. Doctors blame 55% obesity rate.
  • 2020: FDA approves autonomous robot surgery to remove tumors.
