When I was in High School, I took an English class that focused on Women in History. I thought it was a good time to have some caches related to powerful and or influential women. Feel free to continue this theme and build caches related to Women in History. Use WIH and name of historical figure in title.
The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You need to solve the puzzle. All information needed to solve the puzzle is on this page. This cache is to focus on Women In History (WIH) that lead the way for us all. Information pulled from WIKI.
Karen Ann Quinlan was the first modern icon of the right-to-die debate. She spent a decade living in a brain-damaged state from 1975 until her death in 1985.
Karen Ann Quinlan was only 21 years old when she collapsed at a party after swallowing alcohol and the tranquilizer Valium on 14 April, 1975. She was rushed to a hospital where doctors saved her life, but she suffered brain damage and lapsed into a “persistent vegetative state.” Her family waged a much-publicized legal battle for the right to remove her life-support machinery, finally winning that right after a 7-0 decision by the New Jersey Supreme Court on March 31, 1976.
In a final twist, Quinlan kept breathing after the respirator was unplugged. She was moved to a New Jersey nursing home, where she remained in a coma for the next nine years until her 1985 death.
Extra credit
Karen Ann Quinlan’s case is often compared to that of accident victim Nancy Cruzan and “Terri’s Law” subject Terri Schiavo. The 1977 TV movie In the Matter of Karen Ann Quinlan was based on Quinlan’s case.
