DNA after death | |||||||||||||||||
It probably would be very useful if DNA samples were a standard part of each death. The samples could be interred with the body in a condition preserved for easy retrieval for many years after death. Otherwise, if it were economically feasible, the sample could be analyzed before interment and recorded in an official archive to be used in health research and possible criminal inquiry and in research for family connections.

I agree. However... would the estate own the cloning rights?
Of course if it is research you want. How about a DNA doner card?
At the very least DNA could be collected in cases where one were to be cremated.If not cremated then the grave is the BIG file for lots of DNA.
You are on to something.
The last comment about ownership is a good one.I'm sure the legal eagles would say the family owns the the same way James Brown's family would claim they own his music rights. Lots of them in fact do!
