Bei »Discworld«-Schöpfer Terry Pratchett wurde “a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s” diagnostiziert. Niemand lebt ewig, Terry Pratchett nimmt es denn auch relativ gelassen:
We are taking it fairly philosophically down here and possibly with a mild optimism. […] Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there’s time for at least a few more books yet :o)

PS I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as ‘I am not dead’. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think – it’s too soon to tell. I know it’s a very human thing to say “Is there anything I can do”, but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry.
