Human simulation in science fiction

I just read the short story Painwise that described how human body simulation was being utilized to deal with the future world’s medical problems. They covered some interesting problems with the idea of using simulation to create the perfect drugs. Every person’s DNA is too unique to cover in a simulation. Only generic genetic profiles can be used and a person’s epigentic contwnt will also be an unknown factor affecting possible side effects with drug design.
