 Do we have to dissect in biology class?
Dissection of an organism gives the biology student a hands on experience 
that will help them understand the anatomy and physiology of the organism 
that cannot be met with book diagrams and even the internet.  With that said 
it is respectfully acknowledged that students will sometimes have 
reservations or even deep convictions in regards to dissecting.  In these 
situations an alternative assignment will be given.
