Alzheimer's is a terrible way to go. I would rather die shortly after getting it than see it through until death. It strips you of your dignity and your life. The day you get it, little by little, you stop being you.
Short term memory is the first to go. Then over about a five year period the memory damage makes loved ones total strangers, reverses your mentality of that of an adult to that of a child and then of a baby, until eventually you don't even remember how to eat and you starve to death.
