[HAPS-L] Dissection Alternatives

["Amy Troyer" <troyag2k@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious as to how you handle student who are "philosophically" against 
animal dissection in you A&P class.

We do not have cadaver lab, but do various dissections (rat, sheep brain, 
fetal pig, pig heart etc.).  In the 5 years I've been teaching I haven't had 
a student refuse to at least observe during the dissections.  However, I 
have an incoming student for next fall who has made it clear that she would 
be unwilling to dissect animals.

Do you make exceptions?  If so how do you determine who is allowed to be 
exempt and how are they held responsible for the material they miss during 
the dissections?

Thanks for your input,
