I think it's doubly perverse that we don't respect one dead man's wishes about what should happen to his body - but another dead man, John Hunter, apparently gets to decide what happens to all of his former property (including Byrne's remains) for perpetuity. I'm not a fan of wills, endowments or sticky laws enacted by long dead people. The living should decide the matters of the living. But when it comes to the remains, I think we should make a good faith effort to respect their former inhabitant's wishes.
