I really, really, REALLY suspect that the donor in this case did not realise his brain would be resurrected and tortured. We have no way of knowing this isn't the worst torture ever inflicted, all on a nonconsenting person.

I'mma go update my will to say my body specifically should not be donated to science. Cremation please. Jesus.
