Why not allow an autopsy and a public review of the medical records taken after her mysterious accident?

Generally an autopsy is done to determine the cause of death. If Terri should die, there will be no question as to what caused her death. Additionally, I certainly would tell the world to go to hell if "the public" demanded an autopsy of my spouse, let alone demanded to see the results. Unless criminal charges have or will be filed, any autopsy is not called for, nor would the results be anyone's business.

I just don't see why the parents cannot request one. In addition, if one would have been done had she died all those years ago, I dont see why it would hurt to do one now.
And, if you had nothing to hide, why would you care? We are so cavalier about a real living person here, and yet we are concerned about a little indignity to the body after death?
