Domesday machine in 50 years
By 1/H IS CAMEL*
WASHINGTON aiPI* Scien-
tist* peering 50 years into the
future foresee:
—New method of population
eontrol based on introduction of
oral aontrareptives into the
general food supply.
-Advance in medicine that
wilt permit "instant diagnosis”
wf all diseases and regeneration
ml lost organs.
- A ? harp rise in living
•tandara' that a *111 make to-
day's affluence seem like rela-
tive poverty.
- Perfection of the ultimate
military weapon, a "doomsday
machine” that could destroy all
life on earth.
These and other visions of the
21st Century were described by
reputable scientists in sober
pajiers presented to a confer-
ence sponsored by the Ameri-
can Institute of Planners on
what lies ahead in tfie next 50
years.
Contraceptive In Fond
Dr. John R. Platt, a disting-
uished bioph;. sicist who heads
the mentul health research in-
stitute at the University of
Michigan, said that it seems
possible, with "only a few
years" of intensive research,
to develop an oral contraceptive
that could be 'put into foods for
general human consumption.
"This would greatly simplify
the practice of contraception,”
tie said, and "might permit the
stabii/ation of world population
20 to 30 years sooner than our
present individual contraceptive
methods.”
Instead of setting up thou-
sands of clinics to disfiense pills
or intrauterine devices, he said,
a nation could control popula-
tion growth by putting ora)
contraceptives "in widely used
human foodstuffs such as salt,
sugar, bread, rice or beer.
"Of course, any couple that
really wanted to have a baby
would have to go down the
street and buy untreated food
from “the other store”, he
added.
Platt viewed as "possible and
even probable” by the year 2017
the development of automated
clinical apparatus which could
make an instant diagnosis of
disease by simultaneously ana-
lyzing hundreds of compounds
present in blood, urine, saliva,
the skin and the breath.
Regenerate Body Part*
He thought also likely that
wwithin 50 years men will dis-
cover the secret of growing a
new hand, arm, eye or liver to
replace one lost in an accident
or removed by surgery. He
pointed out that lobsters can
regenerate claws, and newts
can grow fresh sets of eyes.
Dr. Herman Kahn, director of
the Hudson Institute and fam-
ous for his long-range projec-
tions for the Defense Depart-
ment and other government
agencies, said increased pro-
ductivity will raise per capita
income in advanced countries
to as much as $20,000 a year by
the early part of the 21st Cen-
tury. and perhaps to as much
as $200,000 a year by the end of
that century.
But, he said, the technological
revolution also will bring a vast
increase in danger that man-
kind may commit suicide in
war.
“It Is possible that the ulti-
mate in weaponry, the socailed
doomsday machine, which could
destroy all human life, will not
only become technologically
feasible: it may even become
inexpensive,” he said.
