Paul Brophy was a Massachusetts firefighter who entered a persistent vegetative state after a basilar artery aneurysm rupture on March 22, 1983. His family's legal battle to discontinue his artificial feeding highlighted the ethical dilemmas surrounding the right to die. Despite their request based on his wishes, the hospital denied it, leading to legal actions. Eventually, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts authorized the removal of his feeding tube, making Brophy the first American to die after such a court decision.
