( cnn ) sofia vergara 's ex-fiance is speaking out about their dispute over frozen embryos created while they dated . in an op-ed published by the new york times on wednesday , nick loeb explained his rationale for fighting to keep the two female embryos he shares with the actress . `` i wanted to keep this private , but recently the story broke to the world , '' loeb wrote . `` it has gotten attention not only because of the people involved -- my ex is sofia vergara , who stars in the abc series `` modern family '' -- but also because embryonic custody disputes raise important questions about life , religion and parenthood . '' loeb says he met the actress in 2010 and they got engaged two years later , at which point they decided to create the embryos and conceive a child via a surrogate . after two attempts failed to bring fertilized embryos to term , they created two more embryos using her eggs and his sperm . `` when we create embryos for the purpose of life , should we not define them as life , rather than as property ? , '' he said . `` ... a woman is entitled to bring a pregnancy to term even if the man objects . should n't a man who is willing to take on all parental responsibilities be similarly entitled to bring his embryos to term even if the woman objects ? '' loeb said he filed a complaint against the 42-year-old actress to prevent her from destroying their two embryos conceived through in vitro fertilization . he filed it in august in santa monica , california , where they apparently lived while they dated . `` we signed a form stating that any embryos created through the process could be brought to term only with both parties ' consent . the form did not specify -- as california law requires -- what would happen if we separated , '' he said . `` i am asking to have it voided . '' representatives for vergara have declined to comment in the past . loeb has said he believes `` life begins at fertilization '' and wants to implant the embryos in a surrogate and bring them to term . he said he does n't want any money from the egg donor . the case has led to questions about who has the right to embryos . typically , a prior legal agreement between a couple spells out who has ultimate authority , said fertility specialist dr. david tourgeman , who 's not involved in this case . `` usually when embryos are created , whether the couple is married or just consenting adults , there 's usually a power of attorney that is described to these embryos , if they are frozen for future use , '' he said . in most cases , the mother or the origin of the egg is given power of attorney , although anyone can make a request , tourgeman said . if there 's a disagreement , the courts usually get involved to decide who legally owns the embryos , he said . vergara is now reportedly engaged to actor joe manganiello .

delhi ( cnn ) an international human rights group is calling for an independent investigation of the killings by police of 20 suspected red sandalwood smugglers in southeastern india . `` there must be a criminal investigation to determine whether the police used excessive force , and whether the killings amount to ' fake encounters , ' or staged extrajudicial executions '' , said abhirr vp , of amnesty international india . `` the police are not above the law , and must not be treated like they are . '' those responsible should be brought to justice , according to amnesty . `` lethal force should not be used except when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life , '' vp said . a police official , deputy inspector general kantha rao , declined comment wednesday , saying an `` investigation is still going on . '' the incident in question took place early tuesday in india 's southeastern andhra pradesh state . forest officials near the town of tirupati spotted hundreds of smugglers cutting trees for red sandalwood , rao said tuesday . the forest officials , who were unarmed , called for police . `` we saw several trees chopped down , '' rao said said . `` these guys came prepared and were heavily armed . '' rao said that the ensuing gun battle lasted more than three hours and 20 smugglers were shot . many of them came from the neighboring state of tamil nadu , he said . amnesty international said the police were claiming self-defense , alleging the suspects attacked them with stone and axes . `` however , no police official was injured , '' the amnesty statement said . `` most of the suspected smugglers were shot in the back . '' according to amnesty , india 's national human rights commission has said the incident `` involved a serious violation of human rights of the individuals , '' and that `` the opening of firing can not be justified on the ground of self defense since it resulted in the loss of lives of 20 persons . '' the commission has asked senior government and police officials to explain the actions of the police and forest officials within two weeks , amnesty said . police said sandalwood smuggling is common in the area . local media are reporting that politicians from tamil nadu have lodged a protest against the andhra pradesh government , saying the alleged smugglers were murdered in cold blood . kunal sehgal in delhi contributed to this report .
