Boundary line between cadaver dissection procedure and photo publication
When a deformed corpse is found in China, it is normal practice for forensic doctors to first perform a “medical examination” to check the external appearance of the corpse, and unless there is anything suspicious and the family members raise objections, they do not proceed further with an autopsy. On the other hand, if there are any suspicious findings on the outside, a compulsory forensic autopsy can be carried out based on Article 129 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and even the collection, fixation, and delivery of tissue samples are arranged in accordance with technical standards established by public safety agencies.
On the other hand, in the Japanese newspaper industry, although there is no written rule, there is a customary standard of refraining from publishing photographs of dead bodies, out of consideration for the dignity of the dead, the feelings of the bereaved families, and the impact on readers. Furthermore, in Japan, defamation can be established if the reputation of a deceased person is harmed with false information, and if the victim causes psychological damage to the bereaved family, it can be considered a tort and be subject to a claim for damages. While procedures for dissecting cadavers have been established as a system, the boundaries of how much of the images can be made public vary widely depending on country and industry practices.
