"Clinical Futures" is a ground breaking book about the future of
medicine, about what medicine will be able to achieve over the next
half century, and about what we may be able to expect from the
health service.
Leading clinical researchers have been invited to look at areas
of clinical advance such as brain function, medical physics,
cancer, ageing, child health, genetic engineering and heart
disease. Describing the various lines of promising research as we
approach the millennium, they consider a number of possible future
scenarios of health care, and have astonishing stories to
tell.
The authors try to anticipate what these 'futures' may look
like, what effects they may have on our lives, on society, on the
health care professions, and on the NHS. They consider both the
promises and the threats, the dangers and the hope, as medical
science increases its ability to manipulate our bodies and minds in
the pursuit of better health.
This book is equally fascinating for medical and non medical
readers. In aiming it at both audiences the editors seek to open up
the ethical debates about the future of medicine.
