In the cycle of life it can be expected that sooner or later many people will suffer from some form of illness that forces them to become dependent upon someone else. This is usually the case for those who are in their later years. Today, the most common illness that is plaguing our elderly is Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is where seniors begin to lose their memory and have to go through life not remembering their family or friends or even themselves. Not only will they suffer from not remembering their closest acquaintances, but they can also forget how to perform basic functions like eating and writing.
