Karens family were one of the first families to open up the right to die debate after karen slipped into a coma, doctors saved her life but she suffered severe brain damage and lapsed into a persistent vegetative state, her family waged a legal battle for the right to remove her life support machinery, they succeeded but in a strange twist karen kept breathing after her machine was turned off and remained in a coma for another 10 years in a nursing home before finally passing away in 1985, its a very heart breaking story
