Final steps begin to end Karen Quinlan life
Security was tightened at St. Clare's Hospital in Denville New Jersey as Karen Ann Quinlan's family prepared to turn off her sustaining respirator. An ethics board may be formed, doctors undecided on prognosis, and only immediate family and their priest would enter the comatose patient's room.
