(Hm, is this the same morphius that I've heard behaves like a laxative on Oddchat?)
Aaaanyway.... The future? I try not to think about it too much, it's pretty depressing.
As a sidenote, this nano-technology everyone's talking about... Some drug currently on the market cost somewhere into the hundreds of pounds for just one packet of 56 (Lamictal, for example) - and that's just for a chemical. It would likely cost billions to create and mass manufacture "nano-bots" - and it'd be quicker and cheaper just to cut down (with the ultimate aim of cutting out altogether) fossil fuels so it fixes itself. Trouble is, most countries seem to like their throwaway lifestyle too much, so I can't see that happening in the near future. We'll probably just have to evolve to be UV-resistant, instead...
