Would You Take The New Alzheimer's Test?

Would You Take The New Alzheimer's Test? | The New Republic: With Alzheimer’s, the power to detect has fewer consequences for medical intervention, since the disease remains such a grim diagnosis.

And while some people might use the knowledge to contemplate assisted suicide, years in the future, most would probably use the test simply because they feel the need to have some control -- the chance to plan sensibly for the time they have, the opportunity to put their affairs in order, to re-focus their lives on what is really important to them.
