Autopsy n Euthanasia!!

At one instance people cut open dead bodies to facilitate crime fighting and then there are those who voice against mercy killing.
Well, Euthanasia is legal only in a few countries while to my knowledge all countries allow inquisition of the dead. You can go on arguing that no man has the right to take his or others lives. While there is no harm in cutting open someone who is already dead and it can only help find the cause and culprit if any.
Lets not go into the never ending argument that a judge in a court can sentence a person to be hanged or electrocuted to death. Then why cant an ailing person or his relatives avail for a little mercy instead of suffering till his ineludible demise?

I’am a stanch believer on capital punishment to be imposed on a number of crimes ranging from the most heinous of them- rape to a cold blooded murder.

And I can understand to a certain extend why it’s difficult to legalize Euthanasia.
Of course the legal procedures that have to be followed will make it nearly impossible in most developing nations.
People of different faith would voice against it as an escape route from God’s punishment or test.(Know what you are thinking….. God isn’t dominant enough to successfully Test someone without human intervention?).

But why this double standards when it comes to Autopsy? The very same faction who rebukes the killing of a diseased out of mercy because of their religious beliefs would offer a shut eye to this legal amputation conducted so commonly across the world.
Inshort, these days there is no room for sympathy to an ailing person nor is there any respect for the dead.

People do voice against conducting postmortems on their kins
but i guess in most cases they would be more keen on finding out what really happened and the cause of death
