Predicting Alzheimer's Disease with Hank Greely

Mankind has learned more in the last 30 years about the disease of Alzheimer's than we have ever known before. Hank Greely explains Alzheimer's disease, some of the leading causes behind the disease, and shares some of his concerns for legal and social ramifications regarding Alzheimer's. Hank Greely, '74, the Deane F. and Kate Edelman Johnson Professor of Law and, by courtesy, of genetics, specializes in legal and social implications of advances in the biosciences.
