An endless dream
A report by Anouk Burel and Valérie Lucas
Who has never dreamed of living much longer? This idea, certain scientists, researchers in genetics or curious visionaries American and British begin to consider it today for the world of tomorrow. Living 150 years or why not forever, being resistant to disease, anticipating one's destiny, these futures are perhaps not so distant since the decryption of the genome and the immense progress of nanotechnology. What could be the man of the future, will we be able to read part of our future thanks to personal genetics, will we one day agree to modify our genes to save us from disease, cancer or move forward- are we on the contrary retreating towards these really very strange horizons, seen from here? What will be our social choices in the face of this giant progress? In any case, this is the question opened up by this report produced in France and the United States, where the doors of the future have already been opened, in part, thanks in particular to the decryption of the personal genome. Access for everyone to the secret of their own genes, an innovation crowned "invention of the year" by Time magazine and which is attracting more and more Americans.
