Abstract
The development of biology and particularly of its special aspect, medicine, has considerable importance when it is projected into the framework of the society of 2000. On the one hand, one could predict that the exponential growth of biological knowledge may add to the instability of European society in thirty year’s time, especially if the practical consequences are grasped and used by the political organizations, which everywhere will involve an increased centralization of government. On the other hand, it may be predicted that increased knowledge in biology will increase the stability of the environment for man based on a greater knowledge of himself.
