Summary: Writing doesn't get any better than this
Comment: "Long Goodbye, the Deaths of Nancy Cruzan" by William Colby, published in 2002, is an awesome account of the medical, societal, personal and legal battle for Nancy's right to discontinue life support. Bill Colby, attorney for the Cruzans, took years away from his career to write this book. It is very well written, concise, gripping, and orderly, the 400 pages fly by. The seven year ordeal faced opposition from Missouri Governor Ashcroft, Solicitor General Starr, and Operation Rescue. This is a book that we need to tell our friends about.

Summary: A journey through a family's heartbreak
Comment: When I started this book I knew it would be hard to put down. Bill Colby is not only a brilliant attorney but he's also captured the public's attention with his spellbinding book on Nancy Cruzan's family fighting for her right to die. His genius approach to every obstacle thrown at him in court was met with sheer determination and a cool savvy that persevered for the clients he grew to love.
His success as an attorney and an author parallels his success as a husband and a father. Congratulations Bill! You've done beautifully in all areas.

Summary: A profoundly emotional story
Comment: Long Goodbye: The Deaths Of Nancy Cruzan by William H. Colby is the in-depth and true story of a judicial trial concerning Nancy Cruzan, a woman who was thrown from her vehicle and suffered horrific injuries. Since that tragic accident, Nancy has remained in a coma for five years, until her family abandoned hope for her revival and requested the removal of Nancy's feeding tube so her life could end peacefully. But the state intervened and denied the family's wishes. Thus began a extended legal battle began over who had the authority and the right to authorize the end of medical intervention with respect to a patient like Nancy. Long Goodbye is a profoundly emotional story of striving to do what one hopes is the right thing, in accordance with the wishes of those who cannot speak for themselves -- and the role of government to intrude into family and medical issues. This is a profoundly important issue that plays out in our hospitals and nursing homes every day. At the crux of the matter is the right to life, the right to die, and who has the final authority over a loved one caught up in a plight similar to Nancy Cruzan and her family.
