Admad, I see that Sun Life are also into this prediction business, though I
suspect the motives are rather commercial (scare the life out of people and hope
they will feel more secure after buying a policy!).
The're at http://www.sunlife.co.uk/ and under "Your Needs" they state various
survey stats and make wide predictions (their words) for each of: work,
technology, relationships & society, and life, health & the environment
Here's an extract of some health bits from the last category:
====================== extract =========================
Some wild predictions
By 2020 traditional open surgery will have largely disappeared as more and
more operations are made
unnecessary by drugs or performed using key-hole techniques.
By 2040 with global warming, countries like the UK may have to deal with
tropical diseases such as malaria
but we will also be enjoying hot summers and balmy winters. Alternatively,
the UK could be as cold as Siberia
because some scientists believe that global warming will affect the Gulf
Stream -- the warm Atlantic current that
for the moment anyway comes up from the tropics and maintains our temperate
climate.
In 2050 we will need at least twice the number of care home places for our
elderly and euthanasia will be legal
throughout the developed world.
Whatever happens you can achieve a brighter future with Sun Life

Elsewhere there's comments on forced sterilisation.
Did they consult a doctor to get these predictions? It's not you, Ahmad is it?
<bg> I see they do admit to getting facts from the Adam Smith Institute :-(
