Consented Autopsy-Never-Failing yet Ever Falling

Angus Turnbull, Michael Osborn

Consented autopsy has facilitated medical advances for five millennia and continues to deliver in modern 21st century medicine. Despite the extensive worldwide decline in consented autopsy over recent decades many studies demonstrate their continual importance in many domains of medicine including diagnostics, clinical correlation, pathogenesis research, education and benefits to the grieving family. The medical community must decide if this tried and tested method should be reinvigorated or left to fade into medical history.
