Ben Affleck revealed that the FBI visited his home during the Palisades fire earlier this year, but he was not present at the time. He learned of the visit through media reports and later discovered it was related to a break-in of a federal official's home nearby, not an investigation involving him.
Affleck clarified that the FBI's presence was misreported, as he had to track down the actual reason for their visit. Despite rumors, both his rental and permanent residences were unaffected by the fires, which resulted in significant destruction and loss of life.
The Federalist: NBC News: Only Wanted Embryos Are Worth Protecting
The Alabama Supreme Court's ruling recognizing embryos as humans under the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act has sparked concerns about the implications for the fertility industry. Critics argue that the lack of regulation in assisted reproductive technology (ART) raises ethical questions about the destruction of embryos and the rights of those created through IVF.
Media outlets, particularly NBC News, have highlighted the legal challenges faced by fertility clinics, with over 300 lawsuits filed alleging mishandling of embryos, eggs, or sperm. The discussion around ART regulation is complicated by the broader debate on the value of life at conception, which remains a contentious issue in the context of reproductive rights.
