Yet another lawsuit filed against Harvard in the wake of allegations that a worker in its Anatomical Gifts program morgue was selling body parts online has taken a different approach: placing the people whose bodies were sold front and center.“I was reading about cadaver this and cadaver that reading the coverage and it’s been freakish horrors” leading the complaints, attorney Kathryn Barnett, of national law firm Morgan & Morgan, told the Herald Friday. “I have a deep empathy for the families. I have sat with the families and heard their stories.”It’s not just that empathy that leads the stories of Glenn Wilder Sr., Marshall Jolotta, Joseph Gangne, Doreen Gordon, Donna Pratt, Patricia Sergio, Billie Flanagan and Mickey Maxwell Cohen — all of whom “generously entrusted the remains” to Harvard’s Anatomical Gifts program so that future doctors could learn from them — taking up a full third of the 31-page complaint, but also a bit of strategy.“We want to include a lot of families i...
