Michael Jackson fans 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 ... fans 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 fans 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 u 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 u never be afraid
Then somewhere in your hart-, hart u can feel the glow
A light to keep u 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 ster secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells u never be afraid
Then somewhere in your hart-, hart u can feel the glow
A light to keep u warm when the night winds blow
Look for the regenboog in the sky
I believe u and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever u may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever u may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Waiting for u to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
