Comatose Quintan alive at 25 by CAROLE FELDMAN Associated Press Writer Karen Ann Quintan will be 25 years old today. To mark the occasion, a Mass will be celebrated at her bedside, where she lies in a coma. "We have so much to be thankful for," says her mother, Julia Quintan. "We never thought Karen would celebrate her 25th birthday. We didn't expect Karen to survive this long." Devout Roman Catholics, the Quintans have leaned heavily on their faith since the April day four years ago when their daughter slipped into a coma—the result of an overdose of alcohol and drugs at a friend's birthday party. They believe that God is using her "for some purpose known only to him." "She's really in God's hands now in every respect since there's nothing anybody can do," Miss Quintan's father, Joseph, said in a recent interview at the family's home in Landing, N.J. Karen Ann Quintan will be remembered by her parents fight to let her die by stopping use of extraordinary means to keep her alive. On March 31, 1976, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a landmark decision that gave Quintan permission to order removal of his daughter's life-supporting respirator. Quintan said he had hoped his daughter would die before he had to exercise his new authority, but the comatose young woman clung to life and two months later she was weaned from the respirator. Doctors predicted she would die soon after the respirator was removed, but her condition stabilized. She receives daily injections of antibiotics to ward off infections and is fed through a tube in her nostrils. But, if her breathing should fail, no heroic measures will be taken to keep her alive. Her weight has stabilized at 70 pounds. She lies in the fetal position—knees drawn up to her chest and her arms folded—on a waterbed in a second floor room of the Morris View Nursing Home. Nurses change her body position every two hours to prevent bed sores. The Quinlans still live in the gray frame house where their daughter grew up. The coffee table in their living room is adorned with several copies of a book about her and the long court battle. Proceeds from the book and a made-for-television movie, "In the Matter of Karen Ann Quinlan," are being set aside to create a hospice—an institution for the terminally ill—in her name. The Quinlans, who prefer not to think of their court action as a battle to establish their daughter's right to die. have no regrets about their decision to fight for her "right to live...in comfort and peace until the Lord calls her." "We did it for Karen." Mrs. Quinlan said. "There was no other way. You have to think of the one you love."
