More than two years after ProPublica sued the Navy, the Department of Defense is mandating public notice of military preliminary hearings.
Legal experts say the new guidance still falls far short of what is required under federal law.
This is horrific and a massive breach of ethics where it concerns consent.
The University of Southern California (#USC) and University of California, San Diego (#UCSD) have millions of dollars in contracts to sell bodies donated for scientific research to the #Navy who gave them to the #IDF. (Our tax dollars at work.)
Yes, the IDF. Easier to know how to kill #Palestinian kids if you take aim at some #American corpses first, I guess.
Both universities have said they plan on continuing the program. Maybe rethink your plans to donate your body to science, if that was on your agenda.
The Navy is no longer allowed to shroud its criminal trials in secrecy and must provide public access to hearings and records, a federal judge ruled last month, the result of a yearslong lawsuit filed by ProPublica.
