Re: When would you decide to top yourself ?
There was a recent article on the BBC site about a treatment that had actually reversed Alz symptoms in mice.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8033422.stm
Even if the disease could not be completely reversed, how do you know it couldn't do enough good to bring your standard of life back to something you would prefer to no life at all?

Because our memories are what make us who we are, you might be able to continue living but it would be as a different person if the damage had progressed too far. That makes this a question closely tied to the clone thread.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:There was a recent article on the BBC site about a treatment that had actually reversed Alz symptoms in mice.

But in a non-specific sense, what if you take this cure and can continue living but no longer remember your wife of 40 years, the new you may no longer feel the same way about her that you did, that would cause her considerable pain.
