Cruzan’s right to die case ends with Nancy Cruzan’s death
Nancy Cruzan died at 33 after a feeding tube was removed following eight years of court battles over end-of-life rights. Her parents, who requested the action, said they believed she would have chosen this path, while anti-euthanasia demonstrators departed after prayers outside the hospital. The 5-4 Supreme Court decision had upheld the constitutional basis to refuse treatment, marking a landmark in end-of-life law.
