This case bears an eerie resemblance to the case of Terri Schiavo in which then Governor Jeb Bush attempted to exercise dictatorial powers in Florida. Evidently Bush took his actions without being directly ordered to by the Vatican and he at least did not justify his improper actions by claiming that Schiavo was in good enough condition to have children. There was some indication that Bush was thinking about mobilizing FDLE officers to kidnap Schiavo but he evidently thought better of that.
