- After a Suliban force boarded the Enterprise (NX-01) and kidnapped Klaang, Doctor Phlox had an opportunity to autopsy a Suliban corpse. The autopsy revealed that Suliban in question was quite different internally than a regular Suliban. (ENT episode: "Broken Bow") When in orbit of Alfa 177, the USS Enterprise suffered a transporter malfunction which caused an Alfan canine and Captain James T. Kirk to be split in two. In each case, one being behaved in a positive manner, while the other only exhibited negative behavior. After the transporter was repaired, the reintegration process was tested by having the canine go through the transporter, but the animal died in the process. Doctor Leonard McCoy ordered an autopsy, which revealed the animal had died because of the shock of reintegration. (TOS episode: "The Enemy Within") Following the death of Crewman Scott Darnell on planet M-113, Dr. McCoy had his body beamed back up to the Enterprise so that he could perform an autopsy. Unfortunately, McCoy was unable to determine the cause of death or confirm Nancy Crater's account that Darnell had ingested a piece of Borgia root. (TOS novelization: The Man Trap) While on a Romulan ship, Commander Spock used a neck pinch against Captain Kirk to simulate death. The Romulans allowed Doctor McCoy to take Kirk's body back to the Enterprise rather than beginning an autopsy, which would've been fatal to Captain Kirk. (TOS episode: "The Enterprise Incident") After a Frenni vessel commandeered by the Ravens made a kamikaze run on the Enterprise, the Enterprise crew was able to bring aboard a Raven corpse for Lieutenant Fraser to perform an autopsy upon. From this autopsy, Fraser found that the alien - which was quickly dubbed a Raven - had never been encountered before by the Federation, and had a very unusual brain structure. After a second Raven attack on the Enterprise, more Raven corpses provided even more insight into Raven physiology. (TOS novel: Dreams of the Raven) While many cultures permit an autopsy to be performed, some cultures do not. When Dr. Beverly Crusher wanted to perform an autopsy on Sev Maylor - the woman whom Ves Alkar claimed was his mother, Alkar cited cultural reasons for denying permission for an autopsy to be performed. However Alkar had forced Maylor to be a receptacle for his negative emotions, and he may have been lying about there being a cultural prohibition against post-mortems being performed to keep his secret from being exposed. Picard initially upheld this judgment, but when it became apparent that something was very wrong with Deanna Troi, Picard allowed the procedure to be done. The autopsy revealed that the Maylor was not 93 years old, but was only in her 30s. Analysis of the woman's genetic structure revealed that whoever Maylor was, she was in no way related to Alkar, thus exposing him. (TNG episode: "Man of the People") Ferengi culture also did not permit autopsies to be performed before the deceased was vacuum dessicated. When the scientist Dr. Reyga was murdered on board the USS Enterprise-D, Doctor Crusher violated this cultural prohibition, as well the orders of Captain Jean-Luc Picard to perform an autopsy. When she admitted this to Captain Picard, Crusher was relieved of duty and was due to attend a hearing at Starfleet Medical to determine what action would be taken. Doctor Crusher was later able to prove that Reyga was murdered, and was ultimately not punished for performing the autopsy on Reyga. (TNG episode: "Suspicions") In the past, an autopsy would involve the physical dissection of a person, in which the person's body would be opened, and the organs would be removed and thoroughly examined. By the 24th century, non invasive methods were developed that generally removed the need for the more gruesome aspects of an autopsy. (TNG episode: "Suspicions"; TNG novel: Imzadi) In an alternate timeline in which Deanna Troi had died in 2368, Admiral William T. Riker would later order an autopsy to be performed on Troi 40 years after her death - which revealed that she was poisoned with a substance which wasn't generally available at the time of her death. It was later revealed that the timeline had been altered, and the timeline was later prevented from occurring when Riker traveled back in time to prevent Troi's death. (TNG novel: Imzadi) Autopsies conducted on Jem'Hadar by Starfleet in and after the Dominion War revealed some Jem'Hadar over the age of ten developed the ability to produce small amounts of ketracel-white themselves. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book Two)
- Autopsy is a 2nd season episode of House which first aired on September 20, 2005. A nine year old with terminal cancer who is hallucinating comes to the hospital. House thinks her bravery in the face of imminent death is actually a symptom of her condition. Meanwhile, House tries to get over a cold and test drives a motorcycle. In one of the most honored episodes of the series, the team deals with a young terminal cancer patient who, if they are lucky, will live another year with successful treatment. The different members of the team each express their views on what many may see as a pointless exercise. However, the decision for House appears to be easy—he's not really concerned about the outcome, only his puzzle. However, as he gets closer to the truth, we see in Andie another part of House—the part that is always balancing the pain of continuing with life against the somewhat lesser pain of ending it. Each in their own way, House and Andie are desperately hanging on to life and making the best of it, House in spite of his disability and Andie in spite of her illness. When House talks to Andie about whether she really wants to go through with a dangerous procedure, we can really see that he is assessing his own choice to continue life in pain against the release of death. In contrast, on the outside Andie seems fine with taking the risk she is about to face, but we can also see that deep down, she too is wondering whether she is making the right choice. However, as Wilson points out to House, the fact that we all come with an expiry date is no reason not to enjoy life. Andie is truly happy with singing, school, family and thinking about boys despite her baldness and intense drug regimen. House, despite the fact that he clearly has as many years ahead of him as he is willing to bear, is miserable despite having his dream job and being one of the most famous doctors on the planet. However, despite himself, Andie does have an effect on House and he tries to enjoy life more and even finds a little more joy by the end of the episode. This investigation of the choice between a miserable life and death is explored in many future episodes, and dominates the character development of Thirteen later in the series. From Kutner to Darrien, many characters make that choice and, when the doctors have the chance, make sure the patients choose life. On the other hand, this episode contains very little character development and, despite the fact that events in the episode have an effect on future episodes, it doesn't really advance any story arcs. For example, Stacy Warner is conspicuously absent and even Lisa Cuddy has a secondary role. Many of the characters seem to merely be there to express ethical reservations about performing such complicated procedures on a terminal patient. Poor Jesse Spencer is once again cast at the naysayer and "jerk" who has to point out the ultimate futility of their endeavors. Robert Sean Leonard also appears to portray Wilson as a person who rationalizes their efforts by pointing out that twelve months is a significant period of time for a young person. However, the writers seem to have forgotten that Wilson is usually portrayed as the conscience of the group, a task that in this episode appears to fall, rather clumsily, to House. When House has to point out an ethical dilemma, it's usually because the other characters are blinded by self-interest, not misplaced compassion.

- An autopsy, also known as a full postmortem or postmortem analysis, was a medical procedure performed on a cadaver to determine cause of death and other information. Generally performed by a coroner or medical examiner, the findings from an autopsy were detailed in an autopsy report. In 2153, Captain Jonathan Archer ordered Doctor Phlox to perform an autopsy on a Xindi-Reptilian that had committed suicide after being captured while retrieving Rajiin from Enterprise NX-01. (ENT: "Rajiin") In 2154, after the Enterprise encountered a crashed ship of dead Xindi-Insectoids, Archer wanted a complete autopsy from Phlox. The autopsy revealed that they had died not from the crash, but rather from suffocation after they transferred life support to their hatchery to save their children. (ENT: "Hatchery") Shortly thereafter, T'Pol had a nightmare in which she and members of the Enterprise crew were watching the film Appointment with Danger. In the nightmare, Phlox did not truly believe that one of the characters in the film, a detective with a bow tie, had perished in a house fire since "the autopsy was inconclusive". (ENT: "Impulse") Autopsies were conducted on the nine crew members of the USS Enterprise who were killed after the starship attempted to cross the galactic barrier. The results showed each crew member suffered neural damage, effectively "burning out" an area of the brain. This report was delivered to Captain James T. Kirk by Doctor Elizabeth Dehner. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" ) In 2266, Doctor Leonard McCoy performed an autopsy on Crewman Darnell. After an inconclusive result with the first autopsy, Captain Kirk ordered a second autopsy. Based on the findings of this autopsy, Dr. McCoy concluded that the crewman's body had been drained of salt, which lead to his death. This finding contradicted a story told by Nancy Crater that Darnell had unwillingly poisoned himself with an alkaloid poison found in the borgia plant. (TOS: "The Man Trap" ) In 2267, Captain Kirk ordered Doctor McCoy to perform an autopsy on Thelev, whom Kirk had just been forced to kill. The autopsy revealed that Thelev was not an Andorian as he appeared, but was in fact an Orion. (TOS: "Journey to Babel" ) In 2268, McCoy told a Romulan-ized Kirk that he was lucky that the doctor didn't perform an autopsy on the supposedly dead Kirk. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident" ) In 2369, Doctor Beverly Crusher asked Captain Jean-Luc Picard to persuade Ambassador Ves Alkar to allow her to perform an autopsy on Sev Maylor, having rejected Crusher's initial request to do so under the claim that Lumerian custom forbids it. Although Picard initially refused since there was no proof that whatever had killed Maylor could after the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, he permitted Crusher to proceed after Deanna Troi began to suffer the same symptoms as Maylor. (TNG: "Man of the People" ) Later that year, on Deep Space 9, Ty Kajada requested that Doctor Julian Bashir perform an autopsy on Rao Vantika to ensure that he was dead. (DS9: "The Passenger") Doctor Bashir performed an autopsy on the Klingon first officer Hon-Tihl and noted that the membrane permeability of the columnar cells in his brain stem were off. (DS9: "Dramatis Personae") Also in 2369, aboard the Enterprise-D, Doctor Crusher wished to do an autopsy on Ferengi doctor Reyga to prove her suspicion that Reyga was murdered. However, Reyga's family demanded that the body not be violated before they can perform the Ferengi death ritual. Despite this, and against the orders of Captain Picard, Dr. Crusher performed the autopsy. Although she initially found no evidence of foul play, further investigation proved Jo'Bril guilty of murder. (TNG: "Suspicions" ) Doctor Bashir was about to perform an autopsy on Vedek Bareil Antos in 2371 after the Vedek was injured in a shuttle accident. The autopsy was delayed, however, when it was found that his nerves were still transmitting signals to his brain. Bareil died shortly thereafter. (DS9: "Life Support") Kes, at the beginning of her studies to become a nurse, told The Doctor that she would be interested in observing an autopsy. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle", "Parturition") That same year, Chief Miles O'Brien was transported several hours into the future where he learned from Doctor Bashir that he had died from radiation affecting the basilar arteries in O'Brien's brain stem, information Bashir had acquired through an autopsy on O'Brien. Bashir offered to share the dead O'Brien's autopsy results with the O'Brien from the past, but the chief quickly refused. (DS9: "Visionary") The Doctor claimed he could quote autopsy reports from duels between jealous lovers as far back as 1538. He noted this to Kes, whom he believed was interested in autopsies. (VOY: "Parturition")
