Whilst the treatment of mortal remains was largely predetermined in previous generations as an essential part of their respective cultures, the significance of the commandment to respect "dignity" and "piety" has nowadays become more unclear. Modern pluralism makes guidelines of behavior questionable, for example concerning burial, autopsy, or the use of body parts for transplant, scientific or teaching purposes, if this has not been legitimized by the "self-determination right" of the individual. At the same time, the "informed consent" appears as a passepartout for any kind of handling a corpse, even though it may be controversial, as in a commercial public exhibition. The interdisciplinary volume, which resulted from the 2nd Göttinger Symposium of the Center for Medical Law, deals with the wide field of "correct" intercourse with a corpse from the perspective of theology and medicine philosophy, medical law, anatomy and law medicine. Während früheren Generationen der Umgang mit den sterblichen Überresten als essentieller Bestandteil ihrer jeweiligen Kultur weithin vorgegeben war, ist der Bedeutungsgehalt des Gebots zur Achtung von „Würde“ und „Pietät“ heute mehr denn je unklar geworden. Der moderne Pluralismus lässt Verhaltensvorgaben etwa bei der Bestattung, der Obduktion oder der Verwendung von Körperteilen zu Transplantations-, wissenschaftlichen oder Lehrzwecken fragwürdig erscheinen, wenn dies nicht durch das „Selbstbestimmungsrecht“ des Einzelnen legitimiert worden ist. Zugleich erscheint der „informed consent“ als Passepartout für jeden beliebigen Umgang mit Leichnamen, mag er wie bei einer kommerziell geprägten öffentlichen Zurschaustellung gesamtgesellschaftlich auch noch so kontrovers sein. Der interdisziplinäre, aus dem 2. Göttinger Symposium des Zentrums für Medizinrecht hervorgegangene Band behandelt das weite Themenfeld des „richtigen“ Umgangs mit dem Leichnam aus Sicht von Theologie und Medizinphilosophie, von Medizinrecht, Anatomie und Rechtsmedizin.

In most of the world, the transition from life to death is a time of intense presence of states and other forms of authority. Focusing on the relationship between bodies and sovereignty, Governing the dead explores how, by whom and with what effects dead bodies are governed in conflict and non-conflict contexts across the world, including an analysis of the struggles over 'proper burials'; the repatriation of dead migrants; abandoned cemeteries; exhumations; 'feminicide'; the protection of dead drug-lords; and the disappeared dead. Mapping theoretical and empirical terrains, this volume sugges

If a death is suspicious, an autopsy of the body is performed with the intent of determining the cause and manner of death. A death investigation begins with body examination and evidence collection at the scene and proceeds through history, postmortem examination and autopsy, laboratory tests, and determining the cause and manner of death. This book provides a comprehensive overview of postmortem examination and autopsy, the steps involved, and what the results of the examination can tell us.

Forensic medicine explores the legal aspects of medicine, and medicolegal investigation of death is the most significant and crucial function of it. The nature of post mortem examinations are changing and the understanding of causes of death are evolving with the increase of knowledge, availability, and use of various analyses including genetic testing. Postmortem examination practice is turning into a more multidisciplinary approach for investigations, which are becoming more evidence based. Although there are numerous publications about forensic medicine and post mortem examination, this book aims to provide some basic information on post mortem examination and current developments in some important and special areas. It is considered that this book will be useful for forensic pathologists, clinicians, attorneys, law enforcement officers, and medical students.

Post Mortem Technique Handbook 2nd edition is a comprehensive practical guide to performing the modern post mortem. The text is well illustrated and presented by system. The book covers both the standard evisceration techniques and the many different dissection techniques that may be necessary in a variety of circumstances likely to be encountered by a practicing pathologist. The recent debates regarding organ retention have lead to major changes in the legal groundings of post mortems, and yet recent studies confirm the continued need for autopsy information, given the inaccuracies of pre-mortem diagnosis. This new and thoroughly revised edition includes the most recent guidance from the Royal College of Pathologists and from the College of American Pathologists. A must-have for all those who conduct post mortems, this book is essential for pathologists in training, medical students, and mortuary technicians, but will also be useful to experienced practitioner requiring information on the less common techniques. Both authors are Consultant Histopathologists and Honorary Senior Lecturers at the University of London, and are closely involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate education and examination.
