Alzheimers Essays Examples

The purpose of this article is to explain my perspective of regarding my intention to know before 10 years time if me or my loved one going to die with the Alzheimer’s Disease. The article continues on with the reasons, some people willing to know and why some people not willing to know of their disease before the 10 year’s time even if nothing can be done to stop it.
Even though there is no treatment for the Alzheimer’s disease yet, an eye test is being developed which is capable of finding the disease in people before they reach 20 years of age. I would definitely like to know 10 years early, to get diagnosed with the Alzheimer’s disease, as the development of medicines capable of stopping this disease is getting speed up after development of this eye test.
But even we currently can’t do anything to stop it, still some people would not be willing to know their fate soon enough. This may be because the current research says by the time we get diagnosed with the disease , cells have already started to die. Also people rely on health insurance throughout their life, and there is a fear that these insurance companies may increase their premium if they come to know about the specific insured person’s disease before the 10 or 20 years time. Hence, they may increase the monthly expenses for the diagnosed person. On the other hand, early detection of disease gives time of the people to decide about their future planning and future tasks to achieve before dying hence that’s why they are willing to know early.
