 These include the Karen Ann Quinlan case (1976), Brophy and Nancy Cruzan cases.More recent years have seen policies fine-tuned and re-stated, as with "Washington v. Glucksberg" (1997) and the Terri Schiavo case.The numerous legislative rulings and legal precedents that were brought about in the wake of the Quinlan case had their ethical foundation in the famous 1983 report completed by the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine, under the title "Deciding to Forgo Life-Sustaining Treatment."
