As I understand it some people believe that their loved ones will be bodily resurrected at some point, Christians and Muslims mainly. Fine. I think that's unlikely, but assuming it is not then must assume that reconstituting the body is not a problem for God, else many of the faithful, dead and utterly dissolved these last 2000 years, are going to have to be content with an eternity incarnated as a heap of organic dust. In fact it could be argued that those who seek to preserve the death intact are denying the power of the godhead to so order things as to allow a bodily afterlife. So why the concern over a forensic dissection of what amounts to nothing of theological importance? Is it not significant that, unlike Judaism or Islam or Hinduism, Christianity has no canonical funerary tradition? I've read nothing in the New Testament that implies that the resurrection of Jesus was contingent on his being interred in the manner that he was. Lazarus was raised even after his corpse was odiferous with decay. (<i>By this time he stinketh.</i>)<br /><br />If one takes the opposite position, that life after death is nonsense, then it also follows that affection for or sentimental attachment to a corpse is indefensible since the once living being is now just a source of contamination, and should be disposed of in as an efficient and expeditious manner as possible.Quaestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688608372863540573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-83906317309298878802016-02-18T06:40:50.014-06:002016-02-18T06:40:50.014-06:00The ol' 'Texas Breakfast'

And if his family doesn't want an autopsy, then that is fine by me. It's their choice and we should all mind our own business.<br /><br />But why should anybody care about the process of an autopsy? What difference should those details make? Do you think Justice Scalia will mind if what is now a useless shell is cut? Would extracting some blood to test for poison be too much? Would testing the liver for poisons be too much? Or searching the body for needle marks that might suggest insulin poisoning? I don't know why you are fetishizing the dead body so much.<br /><br />Was the installation of the pacemaker magically performed without cutting the man?
