IOW - it's already illegal. Yeah, she'd be prosecuted.
This sort of thing already happens. Think OJ, aqcuitted in a criminal trial, made to pay restitution regardless essentially by tort.
I'm sure she could be prosecuted for property damage or desecrating a grave site. However, is it a more egregious offense that she destroys a frozen body that has some, albeit small, expectation of future life as opposed to a body buried in a grave that has no reasonable expectation at future life?
The penalty for destroying a corpse frozen in the hope it can be revived later should be greater than destroying a corpse left to rot in the ground.....in my opinion.
