Hmm... you're saying Ranma came back from the edge in Return? :p
Nodoka is pushing, so is Kuno and Wolfie. As for everyone else well they're on the sidelines watching.
Wolf's motives are that he wants Ranma as a queen, as to the type of queen, he'd rather have Ranam control it.
He does seem to endevor towards what Ranma wants. Though that requires initiative on Ranma's part
(I know I'm going get flamed for this.)
Right now the only one who can pull (but isn't) is Akane. Maybe she can confront Nodoka?
Flamed? Nahh. Akane is being setup to have a helpful role for Ranma.

Go all the way? Least that implies that Ranma has somewhere left to fall.
Could the magic create a new personality?
Probably more piecemeal rebuilt and fill-in Ranma's if Ranma looses her mind.

As I mentioned to you privately, the whole situation seems OOC and disturbing to me. I find it extremely hard to believe that Ranma would ever allow herself to be engaged to Kuno, or that Nodoka would force his hand to do so.
Ranma was overconfident and though she would be rid of him.
And Nodoka never felt she was forcing the issue. She honestly thought Ranma and Kuno acutally were in a relationship all this time.
There's also a hole in the logic: Ranma can be the mother of the rebirth of the race without needing to breed. He's already transformed two people into fairies. Why would he need to have babies? That would be the job of his followers. All he would ever need to do is find volunteers and transform them, or transform those his followers found for him. He can do that a lot faster than trying to rebuild the race with an endless round of pregnancies; the only thing that would slow the process would be finding people who would want to be transformed.
Heh.
If you'll read the chatpers. Who is pressing Ranma to find a husband? It's Nodoka.
Wolf who knows what's needed to bring the fairies back, hasn't pushed Ranma that way.
Of course it's faster to turn people than breed the old fashioned way, Larry.
The endless round of pregnancies is Nodoka's fantasy. And I'm sure she'd want turning of volenteres to suplement that.
I also tried to have Ranma getting more clear headed... as she gets more of a handle on her body, though that is like closing the barn door after the cows got out...
