Alzheimer's Plaques Imaged in Living Brains

Yves writes "Japanese scientists have developed a technique to detect traces of Alzheimer's disease (amyloid plaques in the brain) on living mice... Until now, the standard way to confirm the presence of the plaques, and thus the disease, was by autopsy. The question remains: Do you really want to know early that you have Alzheimer disease, as there is no effective treatment yet?"

Ask your self instead

Do you wanna know you have Aids, if you cannot be treated?

Do you wanna know you have cancer, if you cannot be treated?

Excuse me, but the question " Do you really want to know early that you have Alzheimer disease, as there is no effective treatment yet?"" is not a very smart one.
