In the 21st century mankind has been pushing the boundaries of what is possible.Creating medicine tailored to an individual genetic makeup is just one of many topics that is controversial and beneficial in the society.
I believe the reason why personalised medicine will pose more opportunties as it will help healthcare deal with infections and diseases at a genetic level.Decreasing the fatality rate of diseases such as Nipah viruses and Tuberculosis among children and adults alike.
There are a few challenges that fall under this which rise from a social and economical point.In a perfect world, personalised medicine would be distributed among the general public for free.The capitalistic top pharma companies will price personalised medicine above what a middle class man can afford. Increasing the rich poor disparity in the society which will positvely affect the rich and adversely affect the poor,decreasing the standard of life and mortality rate, from existing and new diseases in the near future.
My opinion on this matter is personlised medicine is very beneficial for the survival of human race. The future brings uncertainty of new diseases and other crises that we are yet to face. Personalised medicine can help solve these issues now the issues falls under pricing, once released into the open market the market forces will push the prices up due to rarity of the product.The only solution to gouging prices is the goverment using a price ceiling and offering subsidy to the people who can not afford it. Using this strategy will ensure that personalised medicine is for everyone.
