Another independent and strong-willed character is Dr. Elizabeth MacGowan in No Greater Love(1985), who keeps alive a pregnant, brain-dead woman to save the fetus. For the sake of storytelling, some of Slaughter's characters express opinions that the author don't necessary share. Thus one doctor says: "When I see a child with Down's Syndrome plus ... spina bifida and hydrocephalus I can't help feeling that both patient and family would have been a lot better off if someone had done [an] amniocentesis ... A syringe full of concentrated saline injected into the uterus can make it empty itself in a harmless abortion with no more danger than having a wisdom tooth pulled." (The Doctor in Literature. Volume 3. Career Choices by Solomon Posen, 2010, p. 240) Slaughter's final novel, The Transplant, came out in 1987.

I loved it....kind of slow at first, and I am sure it was planned that way. Then, Clark Kent came out of the phone booth.. Made me cry, want to murder, and absolute exhileration. I can't wait to read the other books.
Good Job..
