Alzheimer's Disease - Perspective from Political Science: Public Policy Issues.
Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics : a Journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics 2018 September
The paper outlines the policy context and summarizes the numerous policy issues that AD raises from the more generic to the unique. It posits that strong public fears of AD and its future prevalence projections and costs, raise increasingly difficult policy dilemmas.

The first focuses on the basic regulatory function of protecting the public from those who would exploit these fears. The second centers on the well-debated issues of advance directives and euthanasia that surround AD.
