Scalpel, please?
I am sitting in the living room of Caster Girl 15. We are discussing dissection.
Caster Girl 15 and I have had to dissect a cow's eye and a over-ripe fetal pig.
Her mom had to dissect the eyeball of a sheep and a fetal pig.
Her dad can't remember dissecting anything which means that he hasn't (it's an experience hard to forget.)
Her sister had to dissect a sheep's eye and a squid (that they later on grilled and feasted upon.)
Her uncle dissected a medium sized, pregnant shark.
Her aunt has dissected a squid, a frog, and a tapeworm.
What have you dissected?

Nothing yet, but my biology teacher has a bag of formaldehyde-preserved frogs in the back of the room…I don’t know if I’m looking forward to it or not.

OMG – i had to do the frog

i made the guy who was my partner do most of it

I made my mom write a hippie-style note objecting to dissection & I got out of the fetal pig.

We had to eat the squid too…GROSS!

I’ve never had to dissect anything in my life! I don’t think I would be able to.

Last year, when i was in AP Biology, I dissected a starfish, squid, cow’s eye, lamb’s heart, and an entire cat.
