A reliable blood test for Alzheimer’s disease has been identified, giving hope to doctors and researchers. The test identifies three markers for Alzheimer’s – amyloid and tau proteins and neurodegeneration – and is seen as a game-changer in the medical field. However, it raises challenges in managing the information and ethical considerations. While the test is currently being used with suspected Alzheimer’s patients in the NHS, widespread testing in the community could have negative effects. The test also raises questions about the right to die and its potential commercialization. Despite the hope for a cure, the future remains uncertain.
