If you don’t dissect won’t your education be compromised?

No. CD ROMS such as the award winning ‘Digital Frog’ offer an excellent alternative to animal dissection. The ‘Digital Frog 2’ features a fully interactive dissection with full-screen videos and over 70 anatomy screens covering every system in the body, with comparisons to humans. Think about it, if you are not provided an alternative and are forced to experience dissection, you may learn nothing at all.

Don’t you need to experience the feeling the "texture" of organs or seeing the "color" of different tissues?

NO. Animal specimens are preserved with chemicals so they have lost their normal texture or natural colour. Is dissection in high school even relevant to your future?    

FACT: While the majority of high school students will dissect at least one animal in school, only a small fraction of them will enter a career where the dissection experience is even remotely related.
