"Remain unaffected?" It's been pretty affected already, I'd suggest. Biotech is some of the hottest tech in terms of innovation. Random example: COVID vaccines. Lifetimes? There are people alive today who were born before antibiotics, before vaccines against polio, smallpox, measles, chicken pox, before effective cancer chemotherapy.

The "medical industry" is almost unrecognizable compared to a lifetime ago, and I'm confident it'll be even more so in our lifetimes, certainly in our children's.
