 (Colby is nationally recognized for his legal argument  before the U.S. 
Supreme Court on behalf of Nancy Cruzan's family. The Cruzan's  fought on behalf
of their daughter's care in a legal case that catapulted  end-of-life issues to 
national attention.  Author of the critically-acclaimed book about this case, 
Long Goodbye: The Deaths of Nancy Cruzan, Bill Colby has become an outspoken 
advocate for legal and ethical issues  involving care at the end of life.  
Echoes of the Cruzan case were heard when attention focused on Terri  Schiavo 
last year, where once again a family tragedy over withdrawing life  sustaining 
treatments hit national headlines.  Colby is a well-known national expert,  who 
has presented these issues to the U.S. Supreme Court and to groups across  the 
country.  He has appeared on  Larry King Live, Hardball, CNN, MSNBC, Fox 
News, CBS This Morning, Today, Good  Morning America and other televised news 
shows and radio  programs.)
