Would you take a test to see if you’re likely develop Alzheimer’s? A new test will come on line within the next two years despite the fact there’s no cure in sight. Would you want to know? Would your family? Or would finding out you’ve got a 90 per cent chance of developing the disease within a decade spoil those precious years?

This subject is close to my heart as my mum had an Alzheimer test, however it came back inconclusive.

My mom has Alzheimer. She was tested by her doctor. They were simple question. For example, who is the president of the United States, draw a picture of a clock and show the time ten minutes to two. She couldn't do it. Everyday she gets worse. Some days she doesn't remember who I am. It's sad.

Ugh, that's a big fear of mine, to develop Alzheimers. Question, why would I want to know if I'm going to forget anyway? I guess to take some preventative steps to prolong the onset. But, I'd rather not know.

I would definitely want to know so I can prepare by puttin up thousands of post its all over my house-like in the movie The Notebook:-) I think thats what it was called...? lol I forget..;)

@Rockhard2: Really Soory to hear that.I hope they find a cure Someday.

@bbmelody: Thanks, I sure hope they find it soon.
