What’s the point of knowing you’re probability of Alzheimers if there is no cure or means to delay it. Its just a shadow constantly looming over you and can be used in the future to deny you opportunities.

I just went by the article: > Testing recommendations could change if scientists find drugs that can delay or halt Alzheimer’s pathology in people who have not yet developed cognitive problems.
