Reform Post-Mortem procedures - Dont torture the dead

As this petition has passed 10 000 signatures, the responsible Government department has provided the following response:

We understand and appreciate the concerns of individuals who would value the opportunity of a less invasive autopsy, although it is not always a viable means of establishing cause of death. That is why the government has asked coroners and the NHS how the uptake of an imaging post-mortem examination can be better facilitated when the evidence suggests that it is likely to be effective.

The NHS continues to develop its understanding about when this technique can be offered and guidance is being developed for coroners.
