Would you ever dissect an animal?

I refused to dissect a chicken wing in health and people said i was being over dramatic but no one will ever convince me to even dissect anything?

Would you dissect an animal, whatever it is?

I can't think offhand of any reasonably likely scenario in wich I'd dissect anything... but I won't say I wouldn't under any circumstances do it. And good for you. Go ahead and be a drama queen if that's what it takes! It's far better that than to casually view things as being nothing but pieces of meat.

There are no good reasons to why I would do that.

I'd rather dissect a human to be honest.

I'm not sure if I would... even if there was a good reason or something useful to be gained from it.
Is it not possible to learn from books and photos?

I have never dissected anything but I wasn't a vegetarian when I was school age and I DID watch a dissection on two separate occasions of an eye and a heart, both from a pig I think.

And to throw in a similar thought...

Has anyone caught the program 'Inside Nature's Giants'? In case you haven't heard of it, they basically film a dissection of an animal, usually one that has been killed in the wild or has been euthanized (whole other discussion there!)

I've watched a couple of the series and found especially interesting the episode about the cassowary, which is a large flightless bird. They discuss the internal structures and how they can possibly trace evolutionary links to other animals, extinct and living. In the case of the cassowary, it was the first known dissection and was done in order to learn more about their lives in the wild in order to protect them and their habitats. So perhaps dissection in this case is a necessary evil?

The dignity of a dead animal is certainly compromised by filming a dissection, is an autopsy is sometimes necessary to discover how an animal died?

Hmm, I'll stop there for now... loads of discussion fodder there already!

My karma ran over your dogma.
You what?

No. I'd dissect a human without a problem though. For one thing the human had a choice and donated their body. In fact I may donate my body to science when I'm through with it. Animals-I'd never do it. In high school I didn't.

What is anything if not something else?

I see no problem in cutting open a dead thing. When you (or an animal) is dead it can't take knowledge of the fact. It's only shocking for relatives, but the dead person can't feel, think or be shocked. BUT, killing an animal just to cut it open is a pretty fucked up thing to do. If you do that to a human they lock you up and call you insane, but it's ok with animals? What a hypocrite moral this society has... :(

If it didn't die a natural death, no.

I am glad they stopped doing it at my college.

Before going veg I dissection a fetal pig. Back then I thought it was cool and actually volunteered to stay after school to do it as it wasn't mandatory. Funnily enough, I became a vegetarian later that year and am a vegan now. I still have guilt pains every once in awhile when I remember dissecting the pig, especially since I enjoyed it so much. I would never dissect an animal now.
