Of course, who else is going to take care of me when I have Alzheimer's?
Seriously, my mom died of Alzheimer's, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to get it. And we're not talking about a disease that someone is going to suffer from their whole lives. If you had your kids at 25, they'd be 40 when you got Alzheimer's.
It's a completely shitty disease, especially for the family, but you're going to die of something, and some of the options are worse still.
