Imagine being the heir of one of the families in that lawsuit.

“You’re independently wealthy and don’t need to work? What do your folks do, anyway?”

“My grandma was blown up by the military but we checked a box that said that wasn’t allowed.”

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.
