In the case of Quinlan...Was she also taken off of all nourishment? Or just life support machines?

Quinlan was removed from a respirator, Cruzan was starved to death like Terri.

The answers are above. However: Cruzan was taken off nourishment and died shortly thereafter. Quinlan's parents only wanted her removed from a respirator. She lived 10 years after being removed from it.

Since they described her as brain dead, she must have been given nourishment. You've just pointed up the difference between Terri and Karen Ann Quinlan which the writer ignored.

The New Jersey Supreme Court granted Joseph Quinlan the right to remove her respirator and her feeding tube. However, he chose to remove only the respirator.

Just her respirator, never her feeding tube.
