I sincerely hope that the next 20 years will provide the statistical
ammunition
to overturn the requirement for third-class medical certificates. My
personal
belief is that there will be no significant difference in the number of
accidents caused by medical problems in the SP and PP/RP categories.

This is the real hope. If you want to fly a Bonanza, getting a PPL should be
the least of your concerns.

Of course, 20 years ago you couldn't get a special issuance for any number
of things that are routine now, and so long as we don't do something stupid
to the pharmaceutical/healthcare industries, they will probably find cures
for an awful lot of qhat is now disqualifying.
