I personally think dissecting frogs as wrong and a bit unfair. Let me hear your opinions on frog dissections.
Frogs are delecate creatures, and don't deserve to be cut open for study. I don't understad why scientists rip one frog open, take a picture of it's organs, and post it on the internet.

I'm not sure about this. This has always been such a big deal in my school for some reason...
I think it's wrong, but I did it anyway. I forgot we were doing it and the day I did do it, I forgot my permission slip saying I could go and do an online dissection.
It's a living creature, yes, and it deserves to live...but then again....
I guess the place we get our frogs from is a nice facility that breeds frogs for dissection. I guess since we are using them for science, it's okay...oh god! I don't know anymore!
Darn confused brain!! gonk

Umm... you kind of do need to do it to study it...
And aren't the frogs breed for this?
By dissecting frogs and studying them... you might be able to understand them better and save more of them in the future...
So... I don't know... it just depends on you.

I don't really see anything wrong with disecting anything.
Medical Students even disect people when they are studying to become doctors.
Personally I am glad they do, I would much rather have it not be the first time they have cut someone open if I am getting operated on.

I agree with Jad, there is nothing wrong with disecting any thing.
It's a learning experience.
Why do you think it's wrong?
What ever reason do you have for thinking it wrong?
F.Y.I.One line threads is against the rules. Please refrain from making them. Maybe you can make more enphasis on your statement's in your first posts.
Go into detail about why you think it's wrong? Do you think it's animal cruelty? Is it contributing to the loss of species diversity?
What is the point in other words.
You Usually don't just think something, there are reasons behind why you think the way you do, so it would help to better this discussion if you state them.

I think it is wrong but if the frog is already dead then I think it is ok because it helps to teach us about the frog. The only problem is that you don't get much information from a dead frog as you would with one that is alive...

I believe it's okay if they die from natural causes. Of course there are computer programs that can simulate the dissection of frogs.

I don't know exactly what they are doing in schools now, but I have never actually run into anyone dissecting a frog that is still alive, pretty sure they always kill them and preserve them ahead of time.
As for using a computer program to virutally dissect something.... I think it is interesting and useful, but I don't think it is really the same as doing it in real life as far as the amount you can learn from it. (Example when I was in high school we dissected fetal pigs, after we where done with the assisgnment one student [not me] removed the head peeled back the skin around it, and examined the structure of the skull, including thickness, and texture, malleability ect... definitly a little strange but he did learn stuff from it, and I can't see you haveing that type of freedom with a computer program, plus there is just something different about doing it first hand, kind of like the difference between playing football, and playig football on an X-box).

I consider all animal dissection, yes that includes the frog, wrong unless if the world is over-populated with them or if they are extremely hazardous in the environment that would kill up to atleast millions of poeple. In conclusion, dissection opinions will vary between people. I honestly am against dissection all the way. Hopefully, people will realize that mass dissection is wrong and that they'll take action. But for now, we'll have to depend on school boards to see if they can solve this environmentalist concern on animal testing and observations.

I think discetting frogs is not wrong; however, if someone doesn't want to do it they should not have to.
I like discetting. I like bigger animals though like pigs and cats.

I don't think dissection is wrong.
...as long as the animal wasn't killed inhumanely, I have nothing against it.
We're going to be dissecting pigs soon... I'm not exactly looking forward to that.
I kind of feel bad for the people that don't want to/can't do it, though... here we have to or we completely fail the assignment. Well...I'm sure they make exceptions for the people who really can't, but I've never had that problem so I'm not sure.
