Inscription on Schiavo grave same as on Nancy Cruzan's
This is from a pro-Schindler website, but why are they trying to impugn Michael Schiavo for the inscription when it's similar to Cruzan's?




How ironic that the gravestone for Terri Schindler-Schiavo is virtually a carbon copy of the grave marker for Nancy Cruzan, using the same phraseology of “departing this earth” on the day she incurred her injuries and “at peace” the day that she died of dehydration.

(snip)

The “clear and convincing” evidentiary standard was established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Cruzan v. Director, MDH, 497 U.S. 261 (1990). A majority of the Court held that there is a constitutional right to reject artificially provided nutrition and hydration but that the state may require clear and convincing evidence in the case of an incompetent patient that the rejection of nutrition and hydration conforms to the patient’s wishes while competent.

The Supreme Court handed down its ruling in the Cruzan case on June 25, 1990, exactly four months after Terri Schiavo inexplicably collapsed at her home and sustained serious brain damage as a result of a loss of oxgen and blood flow to her brain.

2. Yikes...
Nice heartbeat graphic at the top of the tombstone that spells out, "Thank You," before flatlining...
