(AP) Karen Ann Quinlan, who found death of weeping mother more than nine years after her case established the right to die with dignity, showed "how far we can go to preserve life," her father said today. Miss Quinlan died at the age of 31 at 7:01 p.m. Tuesday in the Morris View Nursing Home here of "respiratory failure following acute pneumonia on top of a chronic vegetative state," said Dr. James Wolf. "Please let us mourn in peace," the mother, Juila Quinlan, said in a brief interview today at the family's home. The Quinlans, deeply religious and daily visitors to their daughter's bedside, in 1976 won a landmark court order allowing them to remove a respirator from Karen to spare her continued "agony" and to honor her expressed wish never to be kept alive through extraordinary means. "I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned by how far we can go to preserve life," Joseph Quinlan said today. "Death is not so much to be feared. Everything in this world is temporary.
