The two are amazingly similar. Somehow I don't perceive them the same way, though. I think that Nancy Cruzan's parents wanted to do what they thought was best for their daughter. Michael Schiavo wanted to do what was best for Michael Schiavo. Nancy Cruzan's marker recognizes her family; Theresa Marie's marker recognizes her HINO alone.
They are much alike in format. As for the thoughts behind each, you may well have it right. HINO's really does manage to sound artificial and loveless, doesn't it? Note that he cuts out the Schindlers.
But, th'th'th'that's all, folks. Have fun, y'all.
