Michael Jackson mashabiki are scrambling to stop the Discovery Channel from broadcasting a gruesome reenactment of MJ's autopsy ... calling the whole thing an "affront to human dignity."
TMZ has learned ... mashabiki have already collected nearly 1,500 signatures -- all demanding the network pull the plug on a special entitled "Michael Jackson's Autopsy" ... in which MJ's bloody autopsy is expected to be reenacted in gory detail.
The mashabiki behind the petition call the documentary "an affront to human dignity" -- adding, "This type of sensational and unscrupulous reporting can only cause harm."
The petition states, “We ask the directors of the Discovery Channel programming to proceed with the outright cancellation of this indecent documentary.”
The doc is scheduled to air January 13th in the UK.

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for wewe to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells wewe never be afraid
Then somewhere in your moyo wewe can feel the glow
A light to keep wewe warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My nyota secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells wewe never be afraid
Then somewhere in your moyo wewe can feel the glow
A light to keep wewe warm when the night winds blow
Look for the upinde wa mvua in the sky
I believe wewe and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever wewe may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever wewe may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Waiting for wewe to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells wewe never be afraid
Then somewhere in your moyo wewe can feel the glow
A light to keep wewe warm when the night winds blow

Wherever wewe may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Michael Jackson's estate is lashing out at the people behind a new MJ documentary set to debut in Japan tomorrow -- claiming mashabiki are being duped into believing the flick was authorized kwa Team MJ.
The estate has released a scathing statement claiming that flamingo Features is promoting the movie in a way that is misleading MJ's mashabiki into believing the film -- shot kwa former MJ confidante Marc Schaffel -- was properly authorized.
The estate also makes it clear it doesn't endorse the flick and none of the profits will benefit MJ's children. They also note that the movie is not allowed to contain any of Michael's music.
Schaffel doesn't appear to be bothered -- the above picha was taken moments zamani at the movie premiere in Tokyo ... where Schaffel took the stage and told mashabiki Katherine Jackson sent along her best wishes.
Tuesday, we shot video of Schaffel and Debbie Rowe boarding a plane to Tokyo.
