Really good article that gives the history and cause of Fatal Family Insomnia. It includes many quotes from the doctors and family members of people that have died from the disease.

An article and interview regarding the terrible disease of fatal family insomnia! Includes background information as well as quotes from families who've experienced it. Terrifying concept, indeed!

I remember seeing this when it was actually televised on Dateline. What a strange and horrible disease. It must be terrible to watch your family members die without being able to do anything to help them. Death must be a blessing in a way.

Very interesting story about a country doctor who discovered this genetic disease by studying his own family.
