How would you repair a old slated roof when it has a bad leak and the roof is unstrudy?

Slate is heavy, if the roof is not sturdy it must be fixed before it caves in. Personally, I would remove the old slate being carefull not to break the undamaged ones, these can be sold for at least $1.00 each slate. then you must fix the trusses resheet the roof and apply a modern roofing system such as ashpalt, or plastic shingles. There is no cheap or easy fix for this problem.
