I don't think exhuming someone's dead body after several hundred years is really "honoring" them. I just don't see what the objective here was (regardless of approvals) apart from "wouldn't it be cool if..." type attitude. What does the world gain here apart from a bit better understanding that a historical figure was genetically predisposed to diabetes etc (which FWIU has no really relevance to his research) I just don't see the value in desecration of 5 people's graves just to sequence Mendel's DNA for no obvious reason apart from just for shits and giggles. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
