“How do people actually die from Alzheimer?”
In: Biology
Your brain regulates and controls everything in your body. As it essentially rots away (Alzheimer’s), it loses the ability to do that with increasingly dangerous effects. Eventually the person is unable to do essentially anything and is in a vegetative state before dying. Most people that know what their future holds make sure to have DNRs for such eventualities. I’ve experienced this with two family members. It’s the most horrific disease there is to me, because it takes your mind first and turns you against your loved ones, who you eventually don’t even recognize any longer.
