thank goodness nothing is forced here, if you dont want to disect an animal for any reason you dont have to, you have to be there and watch, but you can watch from the back, without doing any disecting yourself and you will not be penilized for it. thank heavens we do not disect much at my school, I am in bio 20, and we are doing no disecting this year. last year however I had to disect a pigs heart and lungs. but by then I was so used to handling and cutting organs with bare hands(dog food) that doing it with gloves on was not bad at all. I wont disect anything more then organs though, I cannot disect an animal like a cat, no way. I dont have a problem with organ meats(they are ordered from a meat packing plant) just because whenever my mom is sick or out of town I have to feed my dogs, and they eat organ meat, and we dont use gloves for that.
