Do you accept the dissection of animals in science?

Yeah sure. Definitely.

Of course.

it's a beautiful bikini bottom day!
science is science, they do what they have to i guess
The reason I don't like it is because when an animal dies, it should be left in peace.
Getting in like 30 dead mice and dissecting them isn't really extremely too scientific, though. It's nothing we don't already know, so why not just search it up or just do a singular demonstration?

I think learning is actually easier by first hand experience, but that probably varies.
I'm not eating their stomachs, intestines, heart, spleen, kidneys, lungs etc.
Think about this. WE EAT ANIMALS... Plus most of the, are dead by the time they are dissected.

But people eat animals, that's not exactly leaving them in peace. Once they're dead, they're dead anyway.
And actually I found dissecting sheep kidneys really helpful while studying biology. It's very different to just learning it in theory.
Well since a lot of people seemed to be very misunderstanding. No I don't mind people doing it for science or whatever they feel like doing, since yes they are dead.
Regarding cosmetics... well I guess people are a bit overreacting over that part. It needs to be tested too.

Yes. Unless you can develop advanced to techniques that are safe to do it on non-animals I think that is better than doing it on humans
What do you mean safe to do on non-animals?
I've dissected human bodies but they have obviously put themselves forward to science. I even went to the persons memorial service
Like.. making virtual monkeys or something idk. However, while I can understand some people might think it's not alright I do have a hard time for those extreme animal rights activists or just PETA people. I bet they want stuff tested on themselves most of time.

as i was vegetarian/vegan through high school, i politely declined to take part in dissections because it was against my own personal ethical values, and my school respected that and didn't force me to do any of them
i didn't have a problem with other people doing it, though
as long as they're not killing the animal for the purpose of the dissection, it's harmless

I couldn't stand the smell and they didn't have masks so I probably just did it once.
So far this semester, for biology, I have dissected:
Clam
Earthworm
Ascaris
Crayfish
Grasshopper
Perch
Squid
Sea star
Frog
And this week I'm going to be dissecting and working with a:
Fetal Pig
Nothing I can do about it....so, just gotta live with it. Some schools have human dissections too. All animals are given an anesthetic so it's a peaceful death anyway, from what I read. The most annoying part is actually the smell of formaldehyde lol.
Animal dissection and testing has lead to so many medical and health improvements, it has a useful purpose.

Of course insects are animals.
Because I'm taking an animal course right now let me geek out;
An animal is a multicellular organism that ingests their pray (ALL animals ingests pray). The most simple, basal animal is a sponge.
