    Dissection is an essential part of teaching about anatomy. It’s not necessary in highschool, where 95% of the students will never need it, but in higher Ed it’s absolutely required and digital dissection is not a replacement (but still a valuable supplemental teaching tool)

      I would argue it’s a great way to get a feeler for if you can hack it as a doctor or not. If you can’t handle dissecting a preserved small animal, you’ll never make it through med school. Honestly more of high school should involve mini job simulation beyond the standard “office peon” that most of highschool simulates.
