Yeah, well, it's that Part-Timers disease, you know? I had a senior moment
there for a bit. And I guess it goes to show I don't have a full copy of
the FAQ, just the mini one Adam sends out on occassion (and I've probably
several of those).

To rescue this from OT and the cruel sledgehammers of Adam and Dvixen, what
about Alzheimer's and senility in Shadowrun?

No, not going to ask if anyone has a PC with Alzheimer's or something.
More like do you think it's been solved/cured? My own suspicion is that
the cerebral booster and the memnonic enhancer from Shadowtech were
originally designed, at least in part, as an attempt at curing memory loss
in both the elderly and victims of head trauma.

Do you think that Alzheimer's is cured by 2060?

And for that matter, what about other diseases, such as AIDS? Cancer?

If they have been cured, have other diseases (other than VITAS) sprung up
in their place, as diseases seemingly tend to do?

I've got some thoughts on my own (big suprise, right) but I'd like to see
what others have to say first.

Who thinks the list is suprisingly quiet with GenCon now over...must be the
calm before the storm... ;-(

That's what my therapist says.
