The following would be a hypothetical scenario which could be possible as technology progresses. One very serious disease that exists in our world is ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a disease that affects the individuals nervouse system causing loss of muscle control. This disease affects more than 5,000 individuals per year, to the extent that most die within the first year.
