A Jewish man dies because of a relatively unknown illness. The physician wants to carry out an autopsy that will help advance research into this illness and subsequently may or may not save the lives of others in the future. The deceased's beliefs, however, are clear that an autopsy should not be carried out for this reason since it is not clear that an autopsy would be of any help to anyone.

What action should the Doctor take?
