Well, currently we have another future. We finally successfully created bacteria resistant against all antibiotica. That comes from overusing antibiotica for non-fatal diseases and using it simply too much. That probably means in the future it might be a risk to go to the hospital. |
While this is a possible risk for the future, it is also possible, or even likely if given enough time, that any such event could be offset by improvements in rational drug design.
While antiobiotic resistant bugs are a practical risk these days, anything that's biological has numerous avenues for potential attack. In future it is very likely that we will get much better at investigating and categorising such targets in viruses and bacteria and quickly producing drugs to target them.
