Idéale audience

The Octopus

In my family, we learn to grow up and live with Huntington's, a genetic neurodegenerative disease that little by little destroys all your mental faculties. It's a disease that can come on at any age before it takes you away. I grew up with the fear of disease. Now there's a test to know whether or not I have the gene. I've got one chance out of two.
