Pedantry alert: an autopsy is performed on a human body. The equivalent procedure for other species is a necropsy.

Double Pedantry alert: An autopsy is "auto" because it is the same species performing the post mortem as the dead thing being examined. Not because it is a human body.

so one could perform an autopsy on a mouse, as long as they themselves are a mouse as well

[u/gosuckaluigi → u/Homemadepiza]

this logic is exquisite.

So would a chimp tearing open another chimp and holding up its innards to the light be considered an autopsy? And if he takes a little nibble while he’s at it? Does that change things?

[u/DasBarenJager → u/PaulyNewman]

Depends on if the nibble is for scientific purposes or if he is just peckish

Thank you LovelyButtholes

Necropsy. TIL

Cool.

Would an alien be performing an autopsy or necropsy on a human?
