I wrote an article for a Norwegian paper, which was given the title ‘A duty to Die?’ In the article, translated from English into Norwegian, I said that there could be no such duty; but that if someone wished to die, a part of his motive might be to spare his relatives expense or the disruption of their lives, and that this would be a respectable motive, if he genuinely had no pleasure left in living. This article, or rather its title, without the question mark was picked up by the English press. I very much hope that stem cell research may provide a cure for Alzheimer's, but at the moment it looks a remote chance. The transplant of healthy cells will one day be able to produce new healthy cells, in the cased of e.g. spinal injury, but by the time the brain cells had suffered the disintegration they suffer in Alzheimer’s it would be too late. Or that's how it seems at present. Show less »
