Re: Religion and suicide determinations
This is easy enough to take care of in the private context, right? Insurers refuse to cover suicide and to cover any claim where an autopsy would reveal cause of death and the insured refuses the autopsy. That then opens a market for insurance policies for those whose beliefs preclude autopsies.

RE: Religion and suicide determinations
State insurance departments must approve all insurance polices. Does that make a difference? And is not a refusal ot issue policies to people who won' accept autopsies, amount to a declaration that certain faith groups (Jews, Hmong and others) are not eligible for insurance?

Re: Religion and suicide determinations
Why is it a religious discrimination issue when the allocation of risk is so obviously different? Moreover, my suggestion was for a neutral distonction, not a religio- centric reason. There are people who might well opt for the no-autopsy rule for secular reasons, right?

Re: Michael McConnell Resigning from 10th Circuit and Going to Stanford
Mike's opinion in the Colorado Christian University case is one of the finest 1A decisions I have ever read. He was a judge for far too short a time, but his return to academia is sure to produce much good fruit.
