FUTURE
    The future holds an endless number of possibilities. Researchers only decades ago never imagined the advances that we have today. Imagine what the researchers of a couple decades in the future will find.

Clones - Cloning would bring advancement in the treatment of disease, but so far it is hindered because the House of Representatives approved the ban on human cloning for ethical reasons.

Stem Cells - Recently, President Bush decided to give federal funding certain types of stem cell research.

Robotics - Already, people with arm amputations can control an artificial arms and legs with electronic control. However, more breakthroughs are coming in.
