Religious dictates are generally not valid reasons for refusal of permission for autopsy, since most religions do not prohibit autopsy per se. Permission can be obtained from most members of religious groups, even from Orthodox Jews and Muslims , although it is sometimes not possible to perform an autopsy except where civil law prevails. Resistance on the part of the bereaved may be based on a lack of knowledge or on misinformation. The public needs to be better educated about the many advantages of autopsy, for both society and for family members.
宗教教义通常不是拒绝尸体解剖许可的有效理由，因为大多数宗教本身并不禁止尸体解剖。即使是东正教犹太人和穆斯林，也可以从大多数宗教团体成员那里获得许可，不过有时只有在民法有效的地区才可能进行尸体解剖。遗属的抵制可能基于知识的缺乏或错误信息。需要让公众更好地了解尸体解剖对社会和家庭成员的诸多益处。
