Karen Ann Quinlan's case involved the right-to-die issue and was a landmark case in bringing national attention to the issue. Nancy Cruzan and Terri Schiavo's cases also dealt with end-of-life decisions, but they came later. Dr. Jack Kevorkian was a proponent of assisted suicide, which is related to the right-to-die issue but not necessarily the same thing.
