Dear Dr. Hammerschlag:
Thank you for raising the issue that perhaps there is more to being human than the ability to remember. I have worked in the field of Alzheimer's disease for more than a dozen years now. I am inspired by my mother, who died of the disease in 1996. I can assure you that people whose brains have been badly damaged so that their verbal and self-care abilities are essentially non-existent, still show an enormous capacity to share love, kindness and a delightful sense of humor, if those who love them just pay attention. Look not at what is lost, but at what remains.
