If it's called an "autopsy", how come you don't perform it on yourself?

It does seem a bit odd, though I think it refers to someone other than the deceased. Guess we'll never know till we get there.

| 7. Necropsy would be more accurate, |

I have no idea why it's not used for humans, but instead for animals.

| 8. Necropsy? What if the cause of death isn't in the throat area? |
|
Seems like that would only be good for figuring out the cause of death was choking or thyroid cancer. Many other parts of the body can be affected by disease and trauma you know. It should definitely be wholebodyropsy rather than necropsy.
