Should We Really Try To Cure Alzheimers?

Researchers think they may have found a way to diagnose Alzheimers before a person actually shows symptoms. They could then treat the disease and maybe head it off before it becomes severe. While I am sure this disease is horrible for the family members of the victims, this is the one part of old age I actually looked forward to. How great it would be to not remember my problems, it's like drinking, doing something embarassing and not remembering it, only without the hangover. If that was me, I would try to find the cure for cancer, after all what's more important? What you remember or what your remembered for.
