Ver más artículos como este en CNNe.com/opinion.(CNN) — “La Sirenita” de Disney de 1989 fue a la vez una obra maestra de la marca y una versión algo vergonzosa de un cuento muy oscuro de Hans Christian Anderson.La historia de una sirena que renuncia a su voz para estar con el hombre de sus sueños, encaja perfectamente en el canon de Disney de mujeres adolescentes valientes y curiosas, cuyo coraje y curiosidad en su mayoría terminan llevándolas a un matrimonio temprano. Pero también es muy divertido, con una deslumbrante partitura de Howard Ashman/Alan Menken, una villana icónica en Ursula cuyo aspecto se inspiró en la drag queen Divine y una secuencia hilarantemente amenazante sobre cocinar pescado.Disney tuvo décadas para pensar en cómo actualizar “La Sirenita” para las nuevas generaciones de espectadores.

American ‘stolen’ as a baby finds family in Chile

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:19:37 GMT

(CNN) — Scott Lieberman, an American who lives in San Francisco, always knew that he was adopted from Chile. What he did not know was that he had been stolen as an infant.“I lived 42 years of my life without knowing that I was stolen, not knowing what was happening down in Chile during the 70s and 80s and I just, I want people to know… There are families out there that can still be reunited,” Lieberman said.During the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-90), many babies were funneled to adoption agencies. Some of the children came from rich families, taken or given up to protect reputations. Other babies from poorer backgrounds were simply stolen – as it appears was the case with Lieberman.In the last decade, CNN has documented multiple cases of Chilean babies who were stolen at birth. Authorities in the country say priests, nuns, doctors, nurses and others conspired to carry out illegal adoptions, with the main motive being profit.Chilean officials say the number of...

New York (CNN) — The meteoric rise of ChatGPT is shaking up multiple industries – including law, as one attorney recently found out.Roberto Mata sued Avianca airlines for injuries he says he sustained from a serving cart while on the airline in 2019, claiming negligence by an employee. Steven Schwartz, an attorney with Levidow, Levidow & Oberman and licensed in New York for over three decades, handled Mata’s representation.But at least six of the submitted cases by Schwartz as research for a brief “appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations,” said Judge Kevin Castel of the Southern District of New York in an order.The fake cases source? ChatGPT.“The court is presented with an unprecedented circumstance,” Castel wrote in a May 4 order.Among the purported cases: Varghese v. China South Airlines, Martinez v. Delta Airlines, Shaboon v.
