  There is obviously a conflict here, but of what sort? If FDS is  identical to the early-stage Alzheimer's self (EAS), then the  conflict is between temporally distinct interests of the same person. But if that is the case, then we typically discount past interests in favor of present ones. If, when I was a ravenously carnivorous  20-year-old, I swore to myself that I would never pass up an  opportunity to eat a juicy steak, yet I now find myself a vegetarian  who gets queasy at the sight of medium-rare flesh on the table, it is obviously my present interests that will – and ought, we think  – win the day.
