Is there a law anywhere requiring a mandatory post-mortem on the body of any person suspected of extreme anti-social behavior (EASB)? A record of available information from medical and childhood reports on the dead person should also be prepared. Persons who die in violent attacks on others would be covered by such a requirement.

A related law might deal with mandatory medical and psychiatric examination of living individuals convicted of serious crimes related to EASB.

Such laws may give us information related to possible biological causes of EASB. This is obviously a controversial topic, but one of considerable importance to all of us. Critics from one side would ask if such research could damn people who have not committed any crime. Critics from the other side would ask if researchers are looking for excuses for criminal behavior. The greatest sense of responsibility has to be displayed by people who suggest legal provisions to support this research.

It would be valuable if the information and biological specimens are made available to research labs of standing working on this topic.
