So how do these future dates take future health and medicine into consideration? I'm sure there's some model that people use.

I know some futurists predict preposterous worlds of custom-built DNA-based organ factories and tiny bioengineered machines that go around and zap cancer cells.

I'd presume that these models use a probability quotient on such a world and factor it in as a possibility?
