If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

i think either "a cure" or at the least very good management with a very good "drug" that targets exactly what its supposed to target without terrible side effects. because science is always moving forward. also, i think its not too far in the near future that we will have customized medicine where our genes and proteomes can be analyzed and they'll know which treatments we'll respond to and which will give us bad side effects. that will be really exciting.

Extremely doubtful. There is too much money to be made off those who present with illness.

Considering that most autoimmune diseases have genetic components, we'd need early identification and gene therapy. It's possible, but not in the near future.

Unlikely I say. I agree with Jaybird, there's just too much money exploited from illness. The medical institution is one of the largest profit making systems in the world. I guess that's a pretty negative and depressing way to look at it though and maybe it's just my perception.
On the other hand, I believe there is the knowledge and technology out there to cure a large portion of disease on this planet. You never know.
