Genetics and Biotechnology promise a future of unprecedented health and longevity: DNA screening could prevent many diseases, gene therapy could cure them and, thanks to lab-grown organs, the human body could be repaired as easily as a car, with spare parts readily available. Ultimately, the ageing process itself could be slowed down or even halted. Leading theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku looks at the revolution in genetics and biotechnology, which promises unprecedented health and longevity but also raises the spectre of a Frankenstein future of genetically engineered people. Will we, as transhumanists expect, evolve into a new species? Dr Kaku warns that we may end up in a world divided by genetic apartheid.

Visions of the Future:

Episode 1: The Intelligence Revolution

Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how, in the 21st century, artificial intelligence is going to become as ubiquitous as electricity, how robots with human-level intelligence may finally become a reality, and how we'll even be able to merge our minds with machine intelligence. As the challenges and choices are literally mind-bending, Dr Kaku asks how far we will ultimately go.

Episode 3: The Quantum Revolution

Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku shows how quantum physics is giving mankind the power to manipulate the fundamental building blocks of matter. Science fiction ideas like the space elevator, teleportation, invisibility cloaks, or nanosized molecular machines might soon become a reality. But will we use our unprecedented scientific mastery wisely?

@raketapjotr really? AIDS and Cancer are results of the fundamental principles that govern life. If you are willing to change those why not anything else?

[aikidoka117]

GATTACA and Brave New World should be required supplements

[DeVizardofOZ]

SInce we are developing all these capabilities it seems to me that it is our destiny to use them to advance or evolve. Yes, we must do it or lose our chance to survive the near future as a species.

[Hermoor]

150 years healthy people YES...change intelligence, physical strength etc...no just no.

[Hargaanti]

can we be like snake and change our hide not getting old o.O

[XRG124]

This will not be as radical as Michio Kaku thinks. We are all supposed to have flying cars by now which doesn't seem likely unless we have alternative energy. We can't cure simple baldness, or aids/cancer and here he is bullshitting about capabilities that will almost never be achieved.

[cwalkerj]

With every advancement we make, there is room for abuse which will inevitably occur no matter how diligent governments are in trying to regulate things. We should indeed continue to be innovative, it is in our nature, but at the same time be mindful of how each advancement will affect us in all aspects of what we perceive as reality. 

[raketapjotr]

cure cancer, cure aids, cure some other diseases and STOP. no need to attempt turning the fundamental principles of life upside-down, it can lead to nowhere good. even the gods must die.

[arkansasgurl501]

maybe some of you emotionless, vengeful, souless species on here are already clones, it makes sense, how about dismembering those poor clones for parts legally...?

[arkansasgurl501]

these days manipulation is very easy, all one has to do is just say whatever, no one challenges, no one thinks or ask questons anymore, just tolerant of whatever is suggested...
