根据五角大楼监察长的报告,武装部队法医系统(AFMES)在没有通知家人的情况下,或者在某些情况下违背他们的意愿,保留了数百个尸检器官。 The Armed Forces Medical Examiner System (AFMES) retained hundreds of organs from autopsies without notifying families or, in some cases, against their wishes, according to a Pentagon Inspector General's report. 报告发现,处理和储存器官缺乏一致的程序,这表明官员可能无法有效回答家属的问题,这“可能会造成情绪困扰”。 The report found a lack of consistent procedures for handling and storing organs, indicating that officials may not be able to effectively answer families' questions, which "could cause emotional distress." 作为回应,国防部目前正在致力于对其法医追踪系统进行现代化改造和分析。 In response, the Department of Defense is now working to modernize and analyze its medical examiner's tracking system.
