Interesting dichotomy. I would say that ethically, there can be no justification for exhumation without threat-regardless of any religious stance. On a personal note, my own beliefs are guided by my faith. Perhaps as a parallel and, an important note, should we as a profession be making decisions autonomously on this issue? When guidelines/legislation is/are drawn up, why are the public at large not consulted for their views?
