New Resource on Ethical Issues

The Alzheimer's Association has a new publication - Ethical Issues in Alzheimer's Disease - that presents information on ten different topics (and positions of the Alzheimer's Association on those topics) to help guide persons with Alzheimer's and their families in discussing some of the difficult issues they may face during the course of the disease.

The topics are:

  • Telling the Truth in Diagnosis
  • Therapeutic Goals (of prescription medications and treatment)
  • Genetic Testing
  • Protection of Participants in Research
  • Placebo Control
  • Respect for Autonomy
  • Driving and Dementia
  • End of Life Care
  • Assisted Oral Feeding and Tube Feeding
  • Suicide and Assisted Suicide

Copies of this publication can be purchased from the National Alzheimer's Association for $15 by calling 1-800-223-4405. The publication number is PP560Z.

For more information on any of these issues call the National Capital Area's toll-free Helpline at 1-866-259-0042
