| abstract | - There is some speculation that nanorobotics could lead to a cure for autism by the year 2023 when governments and the private sector (mainly Google) will pump in funding into autism research in order to reduce unemployment rates amongst skilled workers. Dr. Scherer and his team recently discovered a link between the behavior of certain sets of genes and developmental problems that mirror what they’ve seen in autism. With “large-scale genome sequencing,” researchers hope to come closer to a cure. This $50 million project could change how illnesses are approached in this century. A genome contains almost 25,000 genes. That’s a wealth of information to decode, but it comes at a cost—of space, each genome taking up “about 100 gigabytes of storage.” Once people using the Google cloud network find out what's causing autism, genes could be suppressed and working copies could be inserted into the patient's cells. There are several major practical issues. There is the risk of the body experiencing an autoimmune response and rejecting the "new" cells if only some were altered. After admitting to doping up athletes like A-Rod full of steroids, the Bio Genesis Research Institute begins researching a cure for autism with the help of doctors in Lucerne, Switzerland sometime in February 2016. A prototype autism cure will appear before the "safe" cure. However, this "dangerous" cure has a 50% chance of killing the autistic person taking the cure and cost over 9000 Euro on the black market. The "safe cure" will come in the year 2023 after the scientists and doctors have had a chance to perfect the process. Threats to make it illegal forces non-profit organizations to boost funding for the safety of the autism cure.
