Unboxing the future

How about the ability to predict a Sickle Cell crisis, and halt it, long before it had the chance to strike? Or perhaps take a pill that offers a cure by replacing the faulty gene with a new one? How about a potent drug made from African herbs proven to reduce pain or even specialised nutrition advice, medically proven to ensure a better quality of life? These are no longer farfetched hopes but rather on the verge of becoming a reality for many. In this episode, I'll be unboxing what the future has in store.
