Has this group shared commentary regarding Maynard's book? I see that several of us have made mention of her, but I have not seen responses to her "insights" about jds. I read a scathing review of both her as a person adn her book in "Slate," an on-line journal. I think the reviewer worked with maynard at the new yorker. He basically depicts her as a self-imposed victim--a naricissist. i just finished the book and I want to know if others have read it too (i am new, so if this matter has been addressed, please forgive, and refer me to the archives). has the subject of maynard been tabooed for on line discussion? -- M.E.
