More Weirdities

Today just seems to be shaping up as weirdness in the medical world.

A group of animal rights activist in Switzerland have targeted the CEO of Novartis pharmaceuticals by (among other things) stealing his mother's ashes!

    A tactic used in the UK. Those very ethical people dug up the body of an elderly relative of the family running a farm which bred guinea pigs for research and reburied it in unconsecrated ground. Sentence 12 years. Details at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/may/12/animalwelfare.topstories3
