Title: This far and no more
Description: "It started with a stumble." So begins the author's compelling true account of one woman's ordeal with a debilitating illness that would claim her life. The story of how she and her husband confronted their misfortune is as gripping a story as you will ever read; it also calls into question the whole range of complex problems prompted by the new medical technologies that can extend life -- even beyond the will to live it.
