Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Cadaveric identification represents a legal, moral and medico-legal obligation and also fulfills the ethical function to allow the living to offer their dead a merciful burial. In the Mediterranean basin we have been witnessing for years a struggle for life where hundreds of migrants die in an attempt to reach Europe. For these people right to be recognized is not easy because of ante-death biological data are not always available for comparison, and DNA analysis is not always feasible cause for the absence of data with which to compare. In Italy a multidisciplinary protocol has been adopted that involves the acquisition of data provided by family members present in the countries of origin.
UNASSIGNED: Between August 2015 and December 2021, bodies of 879 migrants of various nationalities washed up on the shores of Sicily and Calabria. These men, women, and children, in various states of preservation, were examined. Each body underwent a multidisciplinary approach. External examination and autopsy aimed to determine the cause of death for judicial purposes and to facilitate individual identification. Whenever possible bodies underwent total body post-mortem computed tomography examination to identify fractures and prosthetic implants. including inspection of the third molar to provide an estimate of the age.
UNASSIGNED: The activity carried out in cooperation with Prefecture, Scientific Police, and National and International Red Cross highlighted the importance of employing multiple scientific skills to compensate for the lack of biological information. The importance of appropriate behaviors to avoid contamination and ensure proper preservation underlines the importance of the establishment of a dedicated database.
摘要:
尸体身份代表合法,道德和医学法律义务,也履行道德功能,允许生者为死者提供仁慈的葬礼。在地中海盆地,我们多年来一直在目睹一场争夺生命的斗争,数百名移民在试图到达欧洲的过程中丧生。对于这些人来说,获得承认的权利并不容易,因为死亡前的生物学数据并不总是可供比较的,和DNA分析并不总是可行的原因缺乏数据进行比较。在意大利,通过了一项多学科协议,涉及获取原籍国家庭成员提供的数据。
在2015年8月至2021年12月之间,879名不同国籍的移民的尸体在西西里岛和卡拉布里亚的海岸被冲走。这些人,女人,和孩子们,在各种保存状态下,进行了检查。每个机构都采用多学科方法。外部检查和尸检旨在为司法目的确定死亡原因并促进个人识别。只要有可能,尸体就会接受全身验尸计算机断层扫描检查,以识别骨折和假体植入物。包括检查第三磨牙以提供年龄的估计。
与州合作开展的活动,科学警察,国家和国际红十字会强调了采用多种科学技能来弥补生物信息不足的重要性。避免污染和确保适当保存的适当行为的重要性强调了建立专用数据库的重要性。
