Doctor, should I (or my family member) enroll in a research study on Alzheimer’s disease?

As someone who treats Alzheimer's disease, does research in Alzheimer's disease and has family members with Alzheimer's disease, I can tell you that none of what I have written here fully answers the initial question raised at the beginning, "Should I enroll in a research study?"  Only the person considering such enrollment can answer it.  All of the areas of discussion above can be discussed in more detail.  We will probably return to this discussion in the future.
