Scientists in Chile Protest Mummy Study
What is this about?
This case is about a controversy appeared after a publication of the sequenced genome of a mummified fetus found in 2003 near Chile’s Atacama desert. Some Chilean scientists were condemning the study as unethical, and the Chilean National Monuments Council started an inquiry into whether the remains were illegally disinterred and smuggled out of the country.
