== Lifespan == OK, uploads are straight out. But you've at least implied protein fabricators, so artificial replacement tissues are fairly easy. That means need a new lung? Wait while they customize a left lung template based on your tissues. And so on. This would increase lifespan right there. What else? Well, there could be nanotech therapies/surgeries that could repair damages from radiation and aging. Time consuming, expensive in terms of the time of skilled therapists, but doable. Another method of increasing lifespan. So, what are we looking at? Today, we have roughly a 50-60 year useful adult lifespan and 6-10 of that are taken up by education. Given the ability to replace damaged organs, limbs, etc., with a minimum of disruption, repair general aging, better cancer and disease treatments, we're probably looking at at total lifespan of 120+ years, with maybe 80 of that useful adult lifespan.

My memories of the StarTrek series is that as a general rule the only time that you saw medical intervention was in the case of trauma. So 'tis quite likely that other then trauma, medicine takes a very Hippocratic approach, where proper diet and lifestyle enhances the quality of life and produces greater longevity and productivity, on its own.
