What is Huntington's Disease ?
Huntington's Disease (HD): is a nasty hereditary, degenerative brain disorder which has no cure. :(
As brain cells die HD slowly takes away an individual's ability to walk, talk, think and reason. Eventually, a person becomes totally dependent upon others for her/his care, while being fully aware of their decline.
All Races, Females, Males and Children get HD.
Death follows from complications like choking, heart failure or infection. :(
