I was just wondering if anyone has ever refused to dissect an animal for either their A&P or Microbiology class? I'm taking A&P next semester and I'm hoping I won't have to dissect an animal. It's not that I'm afraid; it just goes against what I believe. (Growing up loving all animals, being vegetarian, and knowing how many of the animals end up on tables for dissection). Can anyone relate? If I come across this situation, how can I go about it? How do I ask the teacher if I can opt out?
