While my controversy was occurring, there hasn't been too many crazy things happening. In fact, I could argue that this controversy is the most impactful event going on in the U.S. On the local level in Washington D.C., I was able to find one article related to my controversy which discusses the inciting event. Besides that, I just found an article about the zika virus which is raising concern throughout the area. On the national level, I found numerous articles that were discussing my controversy. And on the global level, I was able to find a couple news outlets that were discussing my controversy, but there is definitely less concern over my controversy in other countries because they have different ethical standards (the UK has already permitted mitochondrial replacement).
