In the not-so-distant future, these six drugs--already in the works--will change how we live, and even how we die.
Cancer Vaccine

Rather than designing a drug to cure cancer, current research focuses on developing drugs to help the body fight cancer itself. Cancer vaccines would boost the body’s own natural immune response so that naturally produced antibodies would attack the cancer cells and cure the disease. Currently, researchers have only tested the vaccine with melanoma [left], and the treatment still requires that the cancer fighting immune cells are altered in the lab and then returned to the body. However, once researchers figure out how to change the immune cells in vivo, it would only take a pill or a shot to get the body killing cancer for itself.
available only to the super rich i bet....the poor can die in there millions as long as they pay there taxs first....

Wow, with all of these experimental medications (cancer vaccine, male birth control pill, anti-addiction pill, exercise pill, anti-aging pill, smart pill, etc.) coming available on the horizon. I can't even begin to imagine the population BOOM that will occur. What are you folks thoughts on this? Is it the government's attempt to get more out of us or just sci-fi fanatics trying to make fiction a reality?
