Sammanfattning
Our knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology is to a great extent based upon direct studies through dissection or autopsy of the human body. During the last decades, this possibility of obtaining new insights has been diminished considerably or has almost disappeared, partly due to new, more restrictive and less precise ethical laws. The authors discuss these laws and argue that they need to be clarified and that there must be fewer restrictions if research in the future is to benefit from autopsies as it did in the past.
