Can autopsy be avoided ?

0

Some states (including California, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island) have laws restricting autopsy − especially on religious grounds. The impetus for this legislation has come largely from Orthodox Jews, whose religion prohibits mutilation after death. Some cryonicists have joined The Society for Venturism (a cryonics “religion”) to avoid autopsy. Most signed-up cryonicists wear bracelets and/or necklaces (a few individuals have tatoos) that say “Do Not Autopsy”, in addition to providing emergency procedures and cryonics organization contact information.
