Researchers are labeling the Virgin Galactic mission that transported the remains of Australopithecus sediba and Homo naledi to the edge of space as a significant violation of ethical standards.
I fail to see much harm here. Treating remains in a dignified manner...by whose definition? That has been a widely-varied concept over the millennia, I would say. Dignified according to the current fashion of some anthropologists, it looks like. Even anthropologists of a hundred years ago - an eyeblink - would see it differently. Are they just upset that they didn't get to be in charge? Other people might make money and think it's interesting. Horrors. But those are from the wrong cultural tribe here and now, the one that competes with the Ethical Ones for status. Judith rather gives the game away by revealing what really bothers her.
