  In this 2005 photo, Julia Quinlan stands next to a photo of daughter Karen Ann at the Center of Hope Karen Ann Quinlan Hospice in Newton, N.J. In October 1975, Julia and her late husband, Joe, sought a court order to have Karen's respirator turned off so she could die naturally. On Nov. 10 of that year, the judge denied the request. The Quinlans appealed and won a reversal on March 31, 1976, and their daughter was weaned off the respirator. She died June 11, 1985. CNS/JOE GIGLI, THE BEACON
