183. The Cruzan decision and medical practice

Abstract

This editorial reviews some points raised by the US Supreme Court decision in the case of Nancy Cruzan, a young Missouri woman injured in an automobile accident in 1983 who never regained consciousness. Cruzan's parents sought legal permission to remove their daughter's feeding tube (a means of delivering nutrition to patients who cannot eat) so that Nancy would die. The case raised fundamental issues concerning patients' rights to refuse treatment and the use of advance directives (instructions about desired medical interventions prepared by patients before they become incapacitated, sometimes called living wills). Several points in the Supreme Court decision are particularly relevant: (1) fluids and nutrition are considered medical treatment over which patients have rights of refusal; (2) states cannot restrict patients' refusal rights, but can only establish requirements for the kinds of evidence regarding patients' wishes that are acceptable; and (3) the family has less power in the modern health care setting than it previously did to decide about relatives' care. The Cruzan decision has implications for all gravely ill patients who confront technologies that could sustain them. It skirts a basic issue in modern medicine, its ''default mode'' - the assumption that, in lieu of other evidence, everyone wants all possible efforts made to save his or her life. Surveys have shown that this is not the case; most people do not want to live with severe, permanent neurological damage even if they are not dying. A more realistic approach to the issue of advance directives would be to assume that people with certain injuries do not want medical intervention unless their advance directives specify that they desire such intervention. Under such assumptions, advance directives would only be completed by those who wish their lives prolonged, and patients would not be maintained indefinitely on ''feeding wards''. Decisions should be made about patients' lives with maximal attention to private, not bureaucratic, considerations. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)
