Another family is suing Harvard Medical School for damages and class action status after an operation to sell human remains from the university morgue on the black market was discovered, according to the lawsuit.
Attorneys for Anne Weiss filed the lawsuit against Harvard on Thursday in Suffolk County Superior Court. Weiss, whose father’s remains were donated to the medical school, alleges that Harvard failed to conduct adequate background checks for employees and to “protect” the human remains that were donated for research and educational purposes, according to the court document.
“This lawsuit arises from the Defendant Harvard Medical School’s failure to effectively screen, monitor, and supervise their employee to protect the dignity and integrity of donated human remains and ensure those remains were utilized for the exclusive purposes for which they were donated, namely research and medical training,” the lawsuit reads. “As a direct result of Harvard’s failures, the Plaintiff and many other families have been confronted with the almost incomprehensible prospect that their loved ones’ remains were sold as commodities, to be traded, displayed and in some cases converted into jewelry, dolls, and other common products.”
Six people were indicted in June in connection with a smuggling ring that traded human remains from the university morgue. Cedric Lodge, who was responsible for managing the morgue, and his wife allegedly sold the stolen remains via social media, and he allegedly allowed customers to access the morgue to handpick which bodies they wanted.
The lawsuit is seeking class-action status, as well as compensatory damages for the families in an amount that will be determined by the court, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit is one of several that have been filed against the university on behalf of families affected by the trafficking ring.

Approximately 150 people signed on to a class action lawsuit in June against the university, according to CBS News. Attorneys at Morgan & Morgan also filed a June lawsuit in Suffolk County Superior Court on behalf of three families affected by the case, according to the Boston Globe.
Attorneys for Anne Weiss and Harvard Medical School did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It's hard to believe it's really happening, but it is. Male athletes pretend to be females, dominate their sports, and are thereby rapidly destroying women’s competitive sports worldwide. Convicted male criminals suddenly claim to be transgender so they can be confined in a women’s prison and sexually abuse the female inmates there. Men claiming to be female likewise invade women’s locker rooms, bathrooms, schools, dormitories, sororities, shelters, spas and social organizations – and in the process steal women’s scholarships, advancement, honors and myriad other opportunities.
Meanwhile, transgender groomers and recruiters in schools and on social media platforms like TikTok are continually feeding and expanding the current “mass hysteria” craze that has already led countless teen girls to take testosterone and undergo double mastectomies in a pathetic effort to become boys. No wonder the CDC reports 3 in 5 teen girls say they feel “persistently sad or hopeless” and almost 1 in 3 say they have seriously considered committing suicide.
All of this on top of the radical left’s renewed obsession with killing women’s unborn babies via abortion.
The “woke” left’s maniacal attack on women and girls, virtually unreported by the rest of the media, is the entire focus of the sensational June issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE LEFT’S TOTAL WAR ON WOMEN.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
