It might have been about that factual dispute at one point or another, but we have things called courts to resolve those. After losing at all trial and appellate levels over five years --- including the U.S. Supreme Court --- Schiavo's parents took it to the Florida legislature instead, where apparently the standard of proof was more favorable. Separation of powers, "forum" shopping. Toe-may-to, to-mah-to.
