Could all pathologist perform an autopsy on every single body that has died do they take out your sides?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's a choice: Society may require that a person be autopsied. All suspected homicides ; any death that may indicate a danger to the public (poison, new disease) gets autopsied. It's always a good idea. Or the family may request an autopsy.
