If you could find out if you will develop Alzheimer's would you want to know? 

That debate is going on now as more and more talk centers around the new eye test.  We've written about it before and we found many of you have a strong opinion.

Let's imagine the test is a success and will become one of the gold standard tests for Alzheimer's.  Will you decide to pass it up?  Do you want to see your future that clearly? 

What about discrimination issues at work- if this important knowledge is passed on to your employer?

One of the biggest problems about Alzheimer's treatment is not getting a diagnosis early enough.  Will this test solve that problem?

However, unless there is a cure will the information make your life miserable?

Please write in and let us know what you think.
