One the one hand a dog is dead, on the other some kids know about how the spleen works.

On the one hand, YUK.

On the other hand, they did the right thing in notifying the parents, sedating the dog beforehand, and selecting a dog that was scheduled to be euthanized.

I'm not sure if the other hand can overcome the one hand, though. YUK.

I think watching the entire process would be to traumatic to actually get any educational event out of it.

Apparently the dog was going to be put down anyway. On the other hand, what benefit will high school students really get from this? If this were done at a veterinary hospital, and the students could learn something truly useful about surgery, I'd be less inclined to feel odd about it but, and I do appreciate the sub teacher's enthusiasm, this does sound disturbing.

sorry, "educational benefit", not event. I have been working on too many projects this morning, I'm not typing everything out clearly! I hope I didn't write anything about a vivisected dog in my memo about the academic event.

Temporary teacher cherishes illusion of being Robert Hooke. Bizarre and several hundred years too late.

I Hope i dont dream of this tonight.

it reminds me of something written in a victorian book, like when they held atonomy classes with live dissections in front of everone,.... gross.

If the dog didn't feel any pain and was going to be put down anyway, I'm not sure I see the intrinsic problem. However, the immense lack of sensitivity is appalling.

Ok, so when are Channel 4 making the pilot - shall I contact the commissioning editor or shall you?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 13 May 2005 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

... except of course in Britain it couldn't be a dog it would have to be a human (memo to Commissioning Editor: Suggest council estate resident or failed aylum seeker?)

Mark has succinctly said what I was feeling.

I guess I just don't see any need for students to have to dissect, let alone vivisect, anything, unless the students are in medical school. I had to dissect a fetal pig in high school. Now I am working in a bakery to save money for grad school (in English). I do not need to know, and can't imagine any future circumstances under which I would need to know, what a working digestive system looks like, or what an eyeball feels like in my palm. For me, studying some realistic models of internal organs, or using some kind of animated dissection computer program, would have been more than sufficient.
Whether or not the sedated dog felt pain, vivisecting him for the sake of "education" was unnecessary, disrespectful, and cruel.

I agree. Just seems completely out of line. the biggest thing I ever dissected in school was a formaldyhede frog.

Dogs are so precious. I'd vivisect the maricon who came up with this idea with a rusty metal speculum, culo-first.

If the bullet next to this thread in the New Answers list goes hollow, I'm NEVER clicking on it again. (Even though it might be due to an innocent picture of a non-dissected fluffy bunny. It's just not a risk worth taking.)
