She is awake but not aware of her surroundings. Her body is rigid and her hands and feet are constricted.
She is kept alive by a feeding tube at Missouri Rehabilitation Center in Mount Vernon, Mo.
Doctors say Cruzan, 32, could live 30 more years in her condition.
Cruzan's parents, Joe and Joyce Cruzan of Cartersville, M., lost a case before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that they removed them to remove the feeding tubes.
A lower Missouri court gave them permission to make the decision to take her off life support, but the Supreme Court reversed the ruline.
On June 25, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, upheld the Missouri Supreme Court ruling, that the Crazies from removing the tubes.
The Cruzan case has led many people to investigate ways to legally terminate life-sustaining medical
Kansans have two options. They can make out a living will or give durable power of attorney for health care decisions to a trusted person.
A aveng will can be made out by anyone 18 years old or older. The declaration must be made in writing and signed and dated in the presence of two witnesses, Bailey said. Family members cannot be witnesses. An attorney is not necessary, although many people use them.

Bailey said a living will would go
Judith McFadden, director of community relations at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said it was important that family members were aware of existing living wills and where they were located
"If you've written medical treatment you want, it's easier to get," McFadden said.
The other option Kanans is have is to grant durable power of attorney for health care decisions to a trusted person or agent. This power permits the agent to make health care decisions if the individual is unable to do so. It is up to the individual to express his or her desires to the agent.
Copies of living wills should be filed with your personal physician and placed in your medical records, she said. They also should be given to family members. Verbal requests are not binding.
Bailey said a durable power of attorney for health care must be dated and notorized.

The Kansas Natural Death Act grants adults the right to control decisions related to their own medical care.
"The more people hear about it on TV and in the newspapers, the more requests we get," she said.
Bailey said that most inquiries were made by middle-aged and elderly people.
This packet will be available after August 29, in the clinical social work services department.
The request rate has been so high that the hospital is preparing a packet that will provide information about living wills and the Kansas Natural Death Act. It also provides a living will form.
