Halachically can one perform an autopsy on a Jewish body?
One one hand, the Talmud Sanhedrin 47a explains that the verses in Deuteronomy 21:22-23 we can learn that one must not delay a burial and cause any disfigurement to a corpse but on the other hand it could be useful in saving the lives of others if a post-mortem analysis is performed.
If it is indeed Assur, can exceptions be made?
