: How Appealing

After dying, would you prefer to be buried with your brain?

After dying, would you prefer to be buried with your brain? Chances are that you wouldn't miss it very much. Nevertheless, that is the question presented in a case argued yesterday before the Supreme Court of Ohio. I previewed the oral argument in this post from yesterday morning.

In coverage of yesterday's oral argument, The Dayton Daily News reports today that "Justices hear case about rights to organs after autopsy; The dispute stems from a 2001 drowning when the family realized they couldn't claim the man's brain."

The Columbus Dispatch reports today that "Justices to decide rights to organs; Parties argue case on control of body parts after autopsy."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that "Suit could change how coroners work; High court examines autopsy rules."

And The Cincinnati Enquirer contains an article headlined "Who owns removed body parts?"
