(1) The Supreme Court of Alabama in the United States ruled on February 19 that according to state law, “frozen embryos” can be regarded as “children”. If you destroy or destroy frozen embryos in the future, you may face legal liability. . The case originated from a dispute at a fertility clinic in 2020. A patient entered the frozen embryo bank and accidentally dropped the embryo container on the ground, causing the embryos to be destroyed. The affected couple sued the clinic under Alabama’s “Wrongful Death of a Minor” law. Although the court initially dismissed the lawsuit, the Supreme Court ultimately overturned the lower court’s decision in a 7-2 vote. The ruling stated that “minors” include both unborn and born children. The ruling sparked polarizing reactions, with many fearing it would have a chilling effect on fertility clinics and patients.
(2) February 22nd is Cat Day in Japan (Cat no Day). It was established by the Japan Pet Food Association in 1987. Because the number “2” in Japanese is close to the sound of a cat, it is used by more than 9,000 cat lovers. After conducting a questionnaire survey, it was scheduled for February 22nd. Cat Day is very popular in Japan. In 2010 (Heisei 22), the post office launched a cat-pattern postmark; on February 22, 2022, Shin-Keisei Electric Railway also launched a limited edition commemorative ticket, which attracted many cat lovers to rush to buy it. In addition, Lucky Cat, as a Japanese symbol, also has a special day. The Japanese word “laifu” has a similar pronunciation to the number “929”, so September 29 is set as “Lucky Cat Day”.
