Rewire our brains or arteries to prevent any diseases.
In: Technology
“rewiring our brains” is impossible both because we don’t have the ability to alter connections between neurons in there and because the human brain is so unbelievably complex that we barely understand how it works.
We do lots of things to prevent disease, or other things that might cut someone’s life short. What we can’t stop is aging. Aging happens at the cellular level – basically, DNA is damaged just a little bit every time a cell divides, and in humans, after about 80 years or so that damage becomes too much. Organs become weak, the body can’t repair wear & year as well, and eventually the whole thing just can’t keep running. We can replace individual organs, but we can’t replace your entire body.
If you can figure out how to stop that genetic damage, you could maybe “cure” aging and collect your novel prize.
