Why do students continue to dissect animals in biology classes? This book explores the background to current practice regarding dissection in the classroom and guides students, teachers and parents through the various options.
Why do students continue to dissect animals in biology classes? Why, despite the excellence of teaching resources for veterinary and human medical education that substitute for dissection, do those provided for pre-college students fall short in convenience, flexibility, and coo…

Provides sections that deal directly with national and state standards, and discusses the sometimes conflicting objectives of pre-college science education and the related areas of health and veterinary training.
The ethical case against animal experiments
"At present, human beings worldwide are using an estimated 115.3 million animals in experiments--a normalization of the unthinkable on an immense scale. In terms of harm, pain, suffering, and death, animal experiments constitute one of the major moral issues of our time. Given t…
