The guy in this story specifically marked "No" when asked to consent to military testing and the company sold her body anyway. He, along with other families, sued and won $58 million.
I mean, tbh, if I was the grandma, I wouldn't even be angry. I brought them a buch of cash, got some assholes sued and it sure is a crazier way to end than getting thrown in a hole and covered in dirt
What really sucked in this case was that there was something unique about grannies Alzheimer's. I can't find it anymore, but iirk, she developed the disease in a novel way with no previous risk factors and no common genetic markers, so the son donated the body so her dementia could be studied. The body broker violated the terms of the donation, the body was blown up, and the brain was lost to science.
