Yes and so should biden and pelosi.

JohnnyDee62 Absolutely. Now whether I accept it’s results are another matter altogether!

No, too many people in my family are demented already... 🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣 (Seriously both of my grannies died from Alzheimers. I don't need to bloody take one. I already know that I will likely end up with it, and no health care to boot.

Why wouldn’t you?

First check genes for ApoE4, if you have 2 you have a 90-95% chance of developing dementia. If you don’t carry the ApoE4 gene but smoke, drink excessively, consume a highly processed diet, sedentry 8hr & poor sleep you also have a high chance of dementia hence the rise in cases

I am from developing countries. We have diseases that are stronger than dementia. There is no shame in poverty and running after a loaf of bread and a drink of water and a decent life.!!! 

I already have when I was 80 and was cleared. I would definately be tested again.

No way, absolutely no way!!!!
