Elizabeth Bouvia
Elizabeth Bouvia (born c. 1958) is a figure in the right-to-die movement. Her case attracted nationwide attention in this area as well as in medical ethics.
==History==
On September 3, 1983, Bouvia, at the age of 26, admitted herself into the psychiatric ward of Riverside General Hospital in Riverside, California. She was almost totally paralysed by cerebral palsy and had severe degenerative arthritis, which caused her great pain.〔Jonsen, Albert R., Ph.D. ''Involuntary Treatment in Medicince'', Annual Review of Medice, Volume 37, page 41, February, 1986.〕
Bouvia was alienated from her family and husband, and had been entertaining thoughts of suicide. She requested hospital authorities to allow her to starve to death. When they refused and ordered her to be force-fed, Bouvia contacted the American Civil Liberties Union, which assigned her a lawyer. In the subsequent lawsuit, the court upheld the hospital's decision and ordered force-feeding to continue (Pence 64-65).
