Gates wrote on his blog that several men in his family had gotten Alzheimer’s and that he was at risk of getting it.
Gates believes a new approach is needed to combat the disease and would like to see a simple diagnostic method developed, such as a blood test.
Gates is contributing $100 million to fund Alzheimer’s research.
Some people might be tempted to see self-interest in Gates’ call. However, that is beside the point.
Alzheimer’s is a serious problem and will continue to be so, until a cure is found.
