    Nothing about this story has caused me to change my opinion.How will DNA from her husbands relative confirm her identity unless they are also disturbng the husband's body as well?

    It looks like they're hoping that the crypt they just opened contains the bones of Lisa Gherardini's son (the crypt is of the husband's family).  I could be missing something, but I think they're hoping to have a DNA match between the crypt bones and the bones from the Saint Orsola convent, which they believe to be Lisa's.  This would of course give confirmation that they are in fact her's.

    Still a bad reason to disturb a body properly laid to rest.But given post-modernism and it's attenant effects I don;t expect any scientist to let things like tradition or respect for the dead get in the way of desecrating a grave.
