Cruzan lawyer: Families need to talk about living will provisions


Bill Colby, the lawyer who successfully represented the Cruzan family in the landmark right-to-die lawsuit which eventually enabled Joe and Joyce Cruzan to remove the feeding tubes from their daughter seven years after an accident near Carthage left her in a persistent vegetative state, told an audience Monday that families need to discuss living will provisions.
If they don't, he warned, legal documents may not be enough. His talk is covered in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch column.
