In such cases a state may, but is not required to, recognize a family's decision making role, and may require clear and convincing proof of a patient's determination to forgo hydration and nutrition.]]> 2018-12-06 13:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311793642 gberna8254 https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311795398 CRUZAN, BY HER PARENTS AND CO-GUARDIANS v.

Co-petitioners Lester and Joyce Cruzan, Nancy's parents and co-guardians, sought a court order directing the withdrawal of their daughter's artificial feeding and hydration equipment after it became apparent that she had virtually no chance of recovering her cognitive faculties.]]> 2018-12-06 13:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311796425 gberna8254 https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311968498 2018-12-06 18:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311968498 gberna8254 https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311979171 The Cruzan decision disappointed those who had hoped that the Supreme Court would find that families have a constitutional right to terminate a patient's life support. The American Medical Association has supported substituted decision making for termination of life support, both because of concern with family suffering and because it is convenient for the physicians. The dissent in Cruzan implied that without substituted decision making, physicians would be forced to keep most patients in critical care alive forever.]]> 2018-12-06 18:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/311979171 gberna8254 https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/312017900 2018-12-06 20:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/312017900 gberna8254 https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/312023370 2018-12-06 20:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gberna8254/f97s17h0biqx/wish/312023370
