Session

Lesson

Dr. Mendoza: “The advancement of Medicine and the improvement of social and environmental conditions will be responsible for an incredible betterment of human health on Urantia as it has occurred on other planets that progressed beyond the ages of war, poverty and biological misuses of all kinds. The ages of Light and Life will witness astonishing progress in Human Health, and an increasing human lifespan to 300, 400 even 500 years. This is not an idea of Utopia. It will be the reality and it has already started with many medical advancements. Let’s then discuss this opportunity of how medicine will process this advancement in the future, specifically in three main fields:

1. Increasing Knowledge of Pathology. Pathology is the study of diseases. It is the scientific study of what makes people sick that has culminated with the impressive progress in Medicine witnessed during the 20th Century. However, much is yet in store both for Pathology and Pharmaceutics. Each day scientists better understand the human body’s constitution and functions, Each day the pharmaceutics industry produces new and more effective medicines to diminish and cure Urantia’s diseases. Governments and private initiative of advanced nations have funded and sponsored much research into discovery of the cure for persistent diseases like cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s and more.

2. Increasing Usage of Technology. Technology has advanced enormously the application of Chemistry in Pharmaceutics for lab exams and patient monitoring. Electronic devices have been a great help to first responders and in emergency rooms to stabilize patients. Medicine is now using electronic devices that control body functions, replace body parts and diagnose internal body malfunctions. Even more is possible for human beings to progress in the future. Medicine is and will be so linked to technology in time to come that its advance will literally defy belief. However, its increasing cost also makes medicine a luxury product for economic elites.

3. Increasing Application of Genesiology. That is an archaic word for Eugenics — currently a politically incorrect word. However, it is what is meant that matters: a serious study and effective action to improve the genetic human stocks on Urantia. That is not playing God. It’s a necessary measure to put world population under quantitative and qualitative control. The physically, socially and morally degenerate are unnecessary burdens on society and cripple the moral and spiritual development of human beings on Urantia. Your planet suffers from the incompletion of the Adamic up-stepping bestowal. Science must do what that dispensation failed to provide.

Closing

“So, my friend, Medicine on your world has significantly advanced, thanks to these above-mentioned instances, but the best is still to come. Medicine will increasingly become more efficient, greatly advanced, and a conspicuously professional and ethical field. Many diseases of today will be history in the coming centuries. The many and diverse interactions among the countries and cultures, create a great risk for rapid dissemination of communicable diseases — the emerging challenge for this new century. We Midwayers can’t just give you the knowledge that you haven’t yet acquired, but as soon as it appears in any human mind, we will cultivate it.”
