First of all, and I think this one could be in our lifetime... identify ALL substances that governs the rest in the body and target those. If science is able to find the very "foundation" of the mind and body chemistry I think it would then be easy to find medicines that target the very basic of our experiences in life.
Second.. which yxibow spoke about... there is work to be done with ourselves... a chemical solution is not THE solution because we are not just DNA and chemistry, we are much more than that and we KNOW that we affect chemistry within ourselves. A nice thing to have in the future is some kind of "mind-meter" that measures all the important things that goes on in the body and the brain so we can see what emotions and thoughts does to us chemically... trace them back to their origin (the orginal thought/emotion in time) and learn things from ourselves never before possible. Maybe a little wristwatch would acomplish that in the future!
I have a very positive view on the future when it comes to technology... it will not be THE soulution to everything just as pure chemical solutions wont be it... but it will help us very much if we are WILLING to make something good of it.
