SynopsisAfter a terrible car accident, Nancy Beth Cruzan's body remained lifeless in a coma. Her parents, Joyce and Joe Cruzan, claimed that their daughter would never have wanted to live dependent on life support machinery. However, due to a Missouri state law, the Cruzans were prohibited from removing their daughter from this machinery. When the Cruzans took their case to the Supreme Court, the Court supported the constitutionality of the Missouri law, but also left the door open for the Cruzans' eventual removal of their daughter from life support.
