Nancy's father, Joe, committed suicide in 1996, after being exhausted by the emotions of the legal fight and beaten down by the subsequent criticism that his family endured. Her mother, Joyce, died in 1999. Her sister, Chris Cruzan White, is the executive director of the Cruzan Foundation, which helps other families who face similar situations.

I wonder what the position of the Cruzan foundation is. I think it advocates making the tough decision of ending life by witholding the basic necessities of life, food and water. I don't know that for a fact, but the vagueness of the Cruzan Foundation website is a hint as to its leaning.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the decision is not tough for everyone who makes it. I have known families with lots of friction, and I have known people who always surprised me by what they were actually capable of doing (and not in a good sense).
