	Matter of Quinlan
		Joseph Quinlan sought the adjudication of that incompetency.
		Karen is described as emaciated, having suffered a weight loss of at least 40 pounds, and undergoing a continuing deteriorative process.
		If a putative decision by Karen to permit this non-cognitive, vegetative existence to terminate by natural forces is regarded as a valuable incident of her right of privacy, as we believe it to be, then it should not be discarded solely on the basis that her condition prevents her conscious exercise of the choice.

	Introduction to Philosophy
		Karen remains in the intensive care unit at Saint Clare's Hospital, receiving 24-hour care by a team of four nurses characterized, as was the medical attention, as "excellent." She is nourished by feeding by way of a nasal-gastro tube and is routinely examined for infection, which under these [*26] circumstances is a serious life threat.
		Where a Karen QUINLAN or a parent, or a doctor, or a hospital, or a [**666] State seeks the process and response of a court, it must answer with its most informed conception of justice in the previously unexplored circumstances presented to it.
		Quinlan feels a natural grief, and understandably sorrows because of the tragedy which has befallen his daughter, his strength of purpose and character far outweighs these sentiments and qualifies him eminently for guardianship of the person as well as the property of his daughter.

	Court and the End of Life - The Right To Privacy: Karen Ann Quinlan
		Quinlan's parents asked that her respirator be removed and that she be allowed to die.
		We have no doubt … that if Karen were herself miraculously lucid for an interval (not altering the existing prognosis of the condition to which she would soon return) and perceptive of her irreversible condition, she could effectively decide upon discontinuance of the life-support apparatus, even if it meant the prospect of natural death.
		However, after Quinlan's respirator was removed, she continued to breathe on her own and remained in a PVS until she died of multiple infections in 1985.

		The real Karen Ann Quinlan story began long after she lost consciousness and her parents, Joseph and Julia Quinlan, had given up hope.
