I second the sentiment, and am optimistic about it, too (for an unknown value of "some day" :-) ). Leaving aside antibiotics and antihistamines, which are miraculous in their own right, science has pretty well kicked the butt of my myopia (yay LASIK (http://www.optimaeye.com/)!) and my fibroids (yay UAE (http://www.pennhealth.com/phys_forum/pto/jan_feb04/uae.html)!), and has improved my MS symptoms considerably (yay Novantrone (http://novantrone.com/patients/novantrone/index.jsp)!) and is working on improving them more, or maybe even finding a cure.
Better yet, we're starting to have an idea how to attack this BS we call aging (Google "Aubrey de Grey" and/or read about SENS (http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/sens/) for more on that), so if you can just hang in there (either continuously breathing, or if it takes too long, using cryonics (http://www.dmoz.org/Science/Biology/Cryobiology/Cryonics/)), someday you will be able to be Someone Else. And so will I. Won't it be glorious? :-)
