*The Sami I Haddad Memorial Library Paradise Valley, ARIZONA
Without autopsy medical science would still be where it was left in 12th century, shrouded in convoluted theories. Medical science has reached its present high level of development because of the opportunities afforded for such studies in the past. The increased average span of life today was purchased by the sacrifices of our forebears. In this article, autopsies of George II, King of England, Napoleon Bonaparte and Frederick III, King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany are given as an example.Keywords: Autopsy, History of Medicine, European MedicineTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Ethics 2003, 11:116-119
