I think that's a great idea! Virtual software is so more humane and nowerdays, disection and vivisection are really unnecessary.

Video seems to be out of sync?

Can you elaborate why this method of 'dissection' wouldn't work on college kids, or adults, for that matter?

O_o

We did a fetal pig dissection once...our teacher told me Mommy Pig got slaughtered for bacon. But she also told us to treat our little piggies with respect because they gave up their lives so we could pass the course. Very true.

This program would also be great for people who get queasy from the smell (me!).

the jeneral idea is good if you applied it to humans to, I mean pigs and humans are not to differint for one pig heart valves can be used in place of human heart valves and for most burn victims well skin grafts and where do these skin grafts come from pigs. I mean why not ,o I know why because this virtual dissection is a single picture of one pig. shur its a fetise and no budy thinks no two fetises can look in any way different right. shur this may work on kids but not on college students no

Dude. This video is messed up in a technical sense. Just the butt shows after it appears on the screen. It goes away, but yeah.

Well, I know what a rear end of a pig looks like very well now, but not much else. I think you need to fix the visual and the audio on this one.

In most states it is actually not illegal for a teacher to require you to dissect for a grade, the do not have to give an alternitve project.
