Better to savor life...

A woman on the Alzheimer's message board wants to know if she can be tested -- to determine if she has the gene for Alzheimer's. I wonder. Why is it so important to know? Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just get on with living. A good life. A happy life. The odds are one is more likely to die of heart disease or a stroke or cancer or a traffic accident. Before getting old enough to lapse into Alzheimer's. The important thing is to fully live while one is still alive and healthy and functional. Better to savor life rather than worry about death. --Jim Broede
