In the last few decades, medical science has made rapid progress, with some of those

advancements being actually unbelievable. Medicinal and surgical treatments have

developed very fast and now almost everything has a cure. This means that diseases
such as small pox, chickenpox, polio, plague, malaria etc. have now almost been
eradicated. Also, open heart surgeries, organ transplants, brain surgeries, treatment of
deadly diseases like, cancer, tuberculosis etc. have all become possible. By surgical
operations, eyesight can now be given back to a visually challenged person and power of
hearing to a hearing impaired person. Painless and even bloodless operations are
carried out without difficulty and laser surgery enables surgeons to operate without
ripping open the body.
In what concerns genetics,the advances might have influenced our lives forever. For
example,some diseases could be prevented by detecting people/plants/animals that are
genetically prone to certain hereditary diseases inevitable. Also, infectious diseases
can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each
antigen. Animals and plants can be 'tailor made' to show desirable characteristics.
Genes could also be manipulated in trees for example, to absorb more CO 2 and reduce
the threat of global warming.Genetics could increase genetic diversity, and produce
more variant alleles which could also be crossed over and implanted into other species.
It is possible to alter the genetics of wheat plants to grow insulin for example.
There are major advantages in the development of agricultura and the main ones are
crop yields and consequently profit increase. Yields of primary crops such as rice and
wheat increased dramatically, the price of food declined, the rate of increase in crop
yields generally kept pace with population growth, and the number of people who
consistently go hungry was slightly reduced. This boost in food production has been due
mainly to scientific advances and new technologies, including the development of new
crop varieties, the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and the construction of large
irrigation systems. This also means that a country primarily focused on modern
agriculture rarely faces a shortage and does not have to rely on imported sources
for food production. With agriculture they can be self sufficient in crops, raw materials
for clothing, livestock and dairy products.What is more, with the growing shortage of
food in the world an emphasis is being laid now on enhancing agricultural production in
order to keep food items at an affordable level for the world populations.
