The Oscars aired this past month, and the big winners were Eddie Redmayne for playing a man with ALS, and Julianne Moore for playing a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The former disease traps a person in their body but leaves the mind intact; the latter keeps the body working for the most part but destroys the mind. Both highly intelligent people, both characters would probably prefer to keep their minds over their bodies. Our minds are who were are, distilled to our very essence. The thought of losing that is terrifying.
