  • Some years ago we had to dissect the eyes of pigs in our biology lesson which were killed to be dissect. I told my teacher that I didn't want to do something cruel like that and he laughed at me. I was so angry but I still didn't dissect the eyes. And if someone would told me today I should dissect an animal or should die I would give my own life for that animal. In my opinion my life doesn't matter more than the life of an animal. We both got the right to live.

    And sorry for faults I'm german.

  • i have one good reason not to dissect.

  • I'm looking forward to dissecting when I hit a grade where it's to be part of the curriculum. I understand that it can be seen as cruel, but I find it very interesting. Cats are not something I would like to dissect however, because I have two myself. Eyes and small rodents, I'm okay with though, as there are already a high amount of rodents anyway. A student should have the right to say no though. Not even just because they find it cruel, it could simply be because they are uncomfortable.

  • I wish last year my teacher allowed us to not dissect a frog it was horrible & i was almost sick in class i skipped the rest of the days we had to do it I would not be a part of something like that & before we actually dissected the frog we did online dissection & i learned more from that then the actual dissection i was there for & i found out that next year i have to dissect a fetal pig next year I dont care if i fail if i dont do it im not going to

  • I can see why people hate dissection so fervently; the truth is, some people do enjoy looking at the inside workings of a real, once-living creature. When I got the chance to dissect a pig's eye I became more sensitive to just how amazing animals and humans really are, and that's something I didn't get from a screen. People should still do human autopsies in medical schools; I think it's a good idea.

    Then again, don't listen to me. My username is Herbert West - I'm going to be a bit warped.

  • this is cute. next you're gonna say "cut out autopsies."

  • I'm so happy my school doesn't do dissection. :)

  • What a load of crap.

    Simulations, while helpful, give you NO proper experience in what is needed in the functioning biology lab.

  • @flairacoldstone

    People can donate their bodies for science after they die. Their bodies can be used for medical education - as in for dissection purposes.

  • Animals are not embalmed in formaldehyde. At least not at my school anymore. They realized it is dangerous so they stopped using it, or at least the school decided to get the animals from a place that does not use formaldehyde for embalming.

  • I do agree with this. Just the majority of your vegan videos piss me off and full of shit. Trees have just as much a right to live on the planet as any animal. So for the vegans stop being hypocrites. Also b12 is necessary to live and the only place you can get it is from animals.
