Body of murdered rabbi's wife won't undergo autopsy

Well, that's a body's right.

Orthodox Jews oppose an autopsy where no discernable benefit can be derived from it. There must be respect for the dead and the body must not be mutilated or damaged in any way and given a prompt burial.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Well, that's a body's right.

I hope MRI autopsy catches on here - and there was someway I could specify "no standard autopsy".
I have no religious objections. I don't care if my no longer needed body is cut on - in fact, I'm hoping for it. I'm an Anatomical Donor. When I die my body will be delivered to the University of Virginia - unless it's been autopsied. The body must be intact to be accepted.
