Do you know if there was any family in the Nancy Cruzan issue who were opposed to her being allowed to die? I haven't read much on that case- but wasn't her father only opposed by the state? Just wondering- not making a judgement about that case at all, I am not familiar with the facts.
I don't remember any talk of family members opposing it. Joe's name was on the lawsuit because he was her legal guardian by default.
"I haven't read much on that case- but wasn't her father only opposed by the state?"
This is going back a ways, but the State of Missouri Attourney General was the chief opposition. There may have been other factions involved, but the legal portion of it was between Joe and the State. From there it proceeded through the Federal system to the Supreme.
