Postmortem Bodily Integrity

Postmortem Bodily Integrity is a legal and ethical principle denoting the right of a deceased individual’s body to remain whole and unmolested after death, distinguished by its emphasis on respecting the physical inviolability of the corpse as a matter of dignity, cultural value, and familial expectation in the context of organ and tissue donation.
