The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that Harvard University can be sued by families who allege the school mishandled the bodies of their loved ones donated to its medical school, allowing body parts to be sold on the black market.
In a unanimous decision, Justice Scott Kafker wrote that a lower court judge erred in dismissing the lawsuits, saying the plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Harvard failed to act in good faith in handling the remains.
"It had a legal obligation to provide for the dignified treatment and disposal of the donated human remains, and failed miserably in this regard, as Harvard itself recognized," Kafker wrote.
The lawsuits center around Cedric Lodge, a former morgue manager who pleaded guilty in May to transporting stolen goods across state lines. Prosecutors said Lodge began stealing body parts in 2018, such as heads, brains, skin, and organs, and transported them from Harvard to his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he and his wife sold them.

Excellent!
Pauperize those arrogant Haaaavad bastards.
Who cares what a Massachusetts court rules? Even if they inadvertently get something right, there’s always something wrong about it.

From some of the horror stories I’m hearing, they’ll just try to force your family to approve it (and then make sure you actually die).
Harvard will change their team name to the “Ghouls.”
In 1993, Democrat PA governor Bob Casey needed a heart and liver transplant. He got it within 24 hours of being put on the transplant list when a suitable donor was found beaten to death by gangs.

FUNNY HOW HE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE LIST SO FAST——HMMMM-—
Harvard can profit from remakes of the Vincent Price and Peter Lorre horror films about the same topic.
One has coffins re-sold after funerals with corpses dumped.
Others have body parts sold for profit.
Stupid Google screwing up again. To hell with them.
