Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences Pig Laboratory

A training video obtained by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine through the Freedom of Information Act reveals the unlawful use of live pigs to teach first-year medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md. A live pig is tethered to an operating table as a scalpel slices through the animal's skin and muscle. Later, the pig's chest is cracked open to allow an instructor to shock and manually manipulate the heart before the animal is killed.
