Would you dissect an animal for school?!
I have a question for vegetarians/ vegans!. Would you dissect an animal for school!?
I have Bio and we will be dissecting a cat or a pig very soon!. I'm sure I could get out of it if I really wanted to but I'm majoring in Biology in college so I'll have to get over it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is NO substitution for hands on actual dissection experience for people who truley care about animals!. I have saved MANY animal's lives and it all began with my interest in science class and disection!. Anyone who cares about animals & who would want to go into Vet Sciences!.!.Would need this basic anatomy experience!. You cant do that with a plastic frog 100 times a frog's actual size or with diagrams and books!. If you want to save an animal !.!.your going to have to get blood on your hands!.There is alot going on inside a body that just cant be replicated by technology or plastic moldsWww@FoodAQ@Com
@Axiom - dissection and autopsy are not the same thing, especially since no humans are killed just for a science class!.
Computer models are better for identification!. There will always be someone in a classroom who has to look on with someone else because the structure they're looking for in their cat/pig/etc is too small or can't be found!.
I would request an alternative!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi, I live in Australia and go to a public school and will be doing Advanced Senior Biology this year and I suspect that dissecting an animal will be part of the lessons!.
If there is a way for me to pass without dissecting (which Ia m sure that there is) I will probably not do it!.
BUT!.!.!.
I do want to do Medicine when I leave school and to the best of my knowledge then dissection will be compulsory and I know I will do it then because that animal will be helping me becoming an better Doctor or a better vet!.
Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

In my high school biology class, we had to option to use the computer simulated dissection!.
Sometimes, the animals died naturally, but in most cases, they did not!. Some of the animals were still warm, too! In college, I've dissected at least 16 animals, and I'm only a junior! I also found out that the animals we dissected get processed and used, which made me feel better!.
If u don't want to do it, u should change majors!.

No, I would not, but my majors were literature and philosophy, so no one gave a crap if I could find the Islets of Langerhans!.
However, if, as a biology major, you intend to seek employment in the medical field, you won't get out of college without dissection!. Just show respect to the being that gave its life, and make it count!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would, and I have done dissection for school!. I took Advanced Placement Bio in high school!. We did dissections of worms, frogs, fetal pigs, and cats!. I did all the dissections, and honestly didn't have too much of a problem!. I feel that the animal is already dead, and you can learn a lot from it!. I mean, being against dissection of animals would mean being against autopsy of humans as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I find this sort of stuff very cool and yeah i think you will have to get over it but, youno animal parts and stuff are cool but i think i would have trouble with killing then disecting live animals and i certinally would not disect a cat!?!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
Though i live in Australia and at my school disecting live animals is banned (unfortunatley its a catholic school!)!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no way!. that basically goes against everything I believe in as a vegetarian!. like you, I'm really interested in science, but when we dissect at my school I leave the class!. and that is why I decided to major in chemistry rather than bio!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yea!. I don't believe their is ever a chance of you having to dissect a cat!. Its too familiarized with family's and ****!. But think about it if you care about animals enough and to help them you might as well cut open a dead one to learn more about it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No way would I disect,I got out of it by refusing no matter what happened I was not going to do it,explain to your teacher,really its your moral choice you can only do what you can live with!.best of luck whatever you chooseWww@FoodAQ@Com
No
There are now many alternative methods H!.S!. and colleges are using that do not involve harming and/or killing live animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
