The only disease that really terrifies me is Alzheimer’s. Even if I got some deadly cancer, at least I would still be me until I died. But losing my self before my body grinds to a halt would be a living nightmare, partly because others would live most of the nightmare.
Now there is preliminary evidence that Alzheimer’s may actually be a type of diabetes, which could revolutionize treatment. I know enough not to read too much into a single study or report, but this is cause for hope.
Meanwhile, other research continues. This sounds interesting, too.
