Abstract
The autopsy appears to be assuming an increasingly important role in patient care, continuing education, education of medical students and house staff, research in environmental pathology and fundamental aspects of disease. Not only pathologists but all physicians need to plan carefully to utilize autopsies to the fullest extent. Interest will continue to grow only if autopsies are performed or closely supervised by highly motivated and experienced pathologists asking critical questions of current medical, scientific and social concern. New approaches are needed to develop data necessary to address these questions.
