    Not to sound insensitive, but how the heck do you die from Alzheimer's? Isn't it just a neurological disorder that erases your memories? I mean, that's terrible and debilitating, but reverting back to a child-like state doesn't kill you, it just makes you a dependent.

      It's a disease that causes your brain to degenerate. The memory loss is a side effect of loss of brain tissue but ultimately it destroys your body's ability to support itself and you die quietly in your sleep after several long, difficult years.

        That makes sense, yes. Neurons can't die without it harming the brain. Thanks!
