Should a person who has Alzheimer's disease stop driving?

In our society, our sense of independence is very much connected to being able to come and go as we please. With Alzheimer’s disease, judgment and reaction speed may become impaired well before the straight-forward skills of operating an automobile become impaired. For this reason, patients with Alzheimer’s disease should be persuaded fairly early on in the disease to trade off their own driving for being chauffeur-driven by their caregiver or by someone else.

The risks of incurring an accident that may harm the patient or another person on the road, as well as the risk of financial loss due to an accident, are great indeed. When the patient with Alzheimer’s disease cannot be persuaded to give up driving voluntarily, the patient’s doctor should recommend to the patient that the person not drive any more. If need be, you as a caregiver may want to disable the patient’s automobile, openly or surreptitiously, so that the Alzheimer’s patient will no longer be able to drive.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
