[Avodah] The disadvantages of pushing for avoiding autopsy

[Shalom Berger]

Actually, there was an autopsy mentioned in today's daf yomi, where
Rabbi Yishmael's students perform one in order to clarify the number
of eivarim in a person.

Brief discussion on it appears at

(Full disclosure: I have been writing these essays for the Alef
Society for some years now.)

Shalom
