Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive?
Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive?
Completely random stoned hypothetical. Lets day im old as fuck and I decide I'm ready and done. Could I have the same postmortem autopsy done on me while I'm still alive? Like give me a ton of drugs and let me watch myself get dissected as my final moments. I understand there is a legal and possibly moral concern, but is it really ethically that bad if I also want it? Like I'm not taking myself out at my prime, I'm nearly dead anyways. Lemme see myself cut apart that'd be cool as shit, only if I couldn't feel any pain though.

I think that the Nazis or Japanese did experiments in that vain, but don't quote me on it. They did quite a lot that makes my stomach roil. As to how far they could get, no clue.
Either way, once organs start to be removed, you won't be around for long. Under most circumstances anyways. We do have the ability to sub in machines for failed organs, such as heart, kidneys or lungs, but I don't know of any cases where all of them have been replaced with machines at the same time with the "patient" still awake during.
Full life support tends to be a "Buddy, your fucked!" sort of thing and if you're not already in a coma, they will likely put you in one.
The Japanese didn't give their victims pain relief or anesthesia.
