Ethical Dissection Of Animals

Dissection is the process of studying and disassembling a deceased animal or plant to enrich the understanding of the anatomical structure. As a student I do enjoy dissecting animals because it does give me a good understanding of what our organs and body parts look like and how they are all related. In contrast to that I do not believe it is ethical to do dissections on dead animals and plants. Obviously when you think about what you are doing you soon realize that cutting an animal open is an inhumane action. Some animals are force fed, starved, and have physical restraints. These animals may be killed by the cracking of the neck or some may even be decapitated. Reports have shown that 97,123 animals have been in pain without anesthesia
