Since the topic has come up again, I repeat my unanswered question: How do you 
avoid an autopsy (dissection) which destroys your chance of reanimation?


Who has the authority to order an autopsy? Why are they done?  How often are 
they done? Can it be done against your wishes as evidenced by an living will or 
the wishes of your survivors?

This appears to me to be a critical unresolved legal issue for cryonicists.
