Maybe you weren't around, but the Karen Ann Quinlan case was as big as any "baby-down-the-well" story at the time. There was huge "passion" over her case. The question is absurd.
It sure was!!
Apparently, you don't understand the question or the point. The point is that there have been and are many cases both comparable to and identical to the Schiavo case in the 30 years since Karen Ann Quinlan's collapse led to the first "right-to-die" court case. It was followed by the Cruzan case and many others. Schiavo is not unique.
