Judge Dismisses Lawsuits Against Harvard in Stolen Body Parts Scandal
Lawsuits filed by families against Harvard University over the morgue scandal, where body parts from donated cadavers were allegedly stolen and sold, have been dismissed by a judge. The families had hoped to hold the university accountable for the misconduct of its morgue manager, who is facing criminal charges. The judge ruled that Harvard is immune from liability because it acted in good faith and is not responsible for the alleged misconduct of its employee. Attorneys for the families plan to appeal the decision.
