{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In one episode of ''[[Durarara!!]]'', we see [[Headless Horseman|Celty]] watching a documentary on one of these in the background while Shinra speaks on the phone. Celty, as it turns out, [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|is terrified of aliens]].
* In an early episode of ''[[Daa! Daa! Daa!]]'', Miyu tries to call her mother (working overseas for [[NASA]]) for advice on what to do with the suddenly-arrived alien baby, but is discouraged when her mother starts enthusiastically (and [[Squick|graphically)]] describing the alien autopsy video she's watching.
 
== [[ComicsComic Books]] ==
* Referenced in the ''Bec & Kawl'' story arc "Attack Of The Cones" from ''[[2000 AD|Two Thousand AD]]''. [[The Greys]] who have [[Alien Abduction|abducted]] Pierre and suspect him of being a soldier of some sort contemplate killing him with the dialogue at the top of this page serving as their rationale.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[X-COM (Video Game)|X-COM]]'', the player's scientists can perform these. Aside from giving you points when it's finished, it sometimes gives you information about what that particular alien is vulnerable to. However, expect lots of inaccuracies (for example, Reapers are said to have flammable hides but incendiary damage is really buggy in the game).
* The ''[[UFO: AfterblankAfter Blank]]'' series has this too. Notable in that unlike X-COM's aliens, transgenants are pure [[Nausea Fuel]] even ''without'' being cut up. On the other hand, the autopsy reports are ''always'' correct about what the transgenant is vulnerable to.
* The Area 51 stage of ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' has a level which involves rescuing an alien from vivisection, and another (bonus) level involves sabotaging the autopsy of an already dead alien.
