Of course, but that’s assuming:
1. There aren’t serious side effects that make it more of a tradeoff
2. The price isn’t on the order of 6-7 figures (or possibly less for some)

As someone close to a severe Alzheimer’s case - I would personally write a check for $100K in a heartbeat for a treatment that worked.
And yes - I mean I would do that every 6 months.
I’m curious: Do you have any idea what care for such situations costs today?
I don’t, no.
But my point isn’t so much about willingness to pay for such a treatment, but ability to pay for such a treatment.
My understanding is that some treatments like this are sometimes not covered by insurance, so only high income individuals are able to afford them.
On the other hand, long-term care often is covered by insurance, and the insurance is more affordable.
Close to nothing if you live in a multi generational house where people are close by and can take care of each other, thousands per month if you delegate everything to medical practices. I've witnessed both cases, many times
The fact that no money exchanges hands doesn't mean that it costs nothing. The work is still the same. In multigenerational house younger generations pay with their life opportunities for the care.
