SEATTLE Apr 10, 2005 — A North Carolina woman filed a $500,000 claim against King County on Friday, alleging that its medical examiner's office harvested her dead brother's brain for research without permission seven years ago. The claim, the first step toward suing the county, is the first legal action in Washington state concerning a brain-collection program at the Stanley Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Md. Lawsuits have already been filed in Maine alleging that brains were taken there without full consent.
