    Does Tutankhamun’s DNA need consent?

    Disregarding the fact that he was evil, Im not sure historical figures qualify for the same rights as we average people do. I think at most, we should respect what they respected, and Hitler did not respect privacy, so get fucked nazi, your DNA is ours.

      Someone who was alive in the last hundred years may well have identifiable descendents or cousins. Someone from 3,350 years ago, less likely.

      Since we often tend to consider the next of kin or manager of an estate to be the legal entity able to make certain decisions following the death of the person in question, whether there is a known/discoverable agent to ask may be relevant in this kind of matter.

        While im alive? Don’t touchy, I don’t even want people taking pictures of me without permission let alone a strand of hair or skin flakes.

        But once im dead who cares, not my problem anymore.

            Just what I wanted, a true to life Hitler sexbot.

            Actually now that I think about it that would make a banger anime.

          Your dna contains that information, yes. But what is the privacy concern
