vocabulary简明 An autopsy is the dissection of a dead human body to figure out the cause of death. If you watch much TV, you've probably seen hundreds of 'em.
vocabulary扩展 The word autopsy comes from the Greek, meaning "to see with one's own eyes." Many cultures thought it was sacrilegious to mar the human body, because the dead person would need it in the afterlife (you don't want to be hanging out for eternity with your pals while your intestines are flapping around your ankles). Autopsy is used interchangeably with the term post-mortem, Latin for "after-death."
