Greetings from the year 2107! My name is Finski, and I live on a planet known as Comet's End. If you want to know more about it you can check out my first blog.
Today, however, I’m going to be dealing with the medical advances of the 22nd Century. Some of these will be familiar to you while others will be science fiction - or in your case future science. I know that in your time, keyhole surgery is the latest thing - but in 2107 it’s pretty much had its day and is being phased out in favour of something much more advanced - Wormhole surgery! It’s a revolutionary technique where they operate through a wormhole and all the nasty bits they want to fix are sent back in time, so that when you leave the operating theatre there are no scars or stitches. In fact the bits they operated on have regenerated back to a time before they ever got damaged! And where did all the nasty stuff go? It got sent into the past. About a hundred years into the past. I shouldn’t really say this but - I’d stay away from those chicken dippers if I were you...
One thing I should warn you about is cloning. The technique for cloning people was perfected about ninety years ago and at first it was used just for medical purposes - but now it’s just got ridiculous! The first non-medical uses were clones of dead pets. Then came dead Granddads and favourite Uncles and Aunties. Now the unrestricted cloning of Twentieth Century Icons has reached epidemic proportions! A speaker for the government blamed the crisis on the irresponsible release of the “Clone it yourself” kit, which broke all sales records last Christmas. But it seems the novelty of having your very own “Elvis” has begun to wear off, with disastrous consequences. As I speak, hoards of unwanted Marilyn Monroes and Madonnas are roaming the streets; and the Charlie Chaplin problem has got so bad, the authorities admit, they had no other choice but to clone the Keystone cops. You have been warned...
Catch you later - Finski
