So in biology class we just got through dissecting squid and frog, so now we moved on to a fetal pig, but im having an extremely hard time cutting open a fetal pig. I feel extremely sick to my stomach whenever we are dissecting it. Can you guys offer any tips to help me push through the dissection.

There are usually opt-out options for such reactions. You could always talk to your teacher about that.

Or you could try desensitising yourself by watching videos on youtube and looking at pictures on google.

Don't go into health then. I started going down that path and I had to dissect an adult cat. And the truth is, some physical therapy schools have you dissect actual human cadavers.

Well you're lucky, we've been dissecting cats in my class and it smells god awful. Just deal with it if the final dissection day is tomorrow.

I've never disected an animal. Only organs. Hearts lungs and eyes.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

As simple as it sounds just remind yourself that it's already dead, you're not killing some innocent creature.

Convince yourself that the knowledge you gain from it will help you prevent the death of more innocent young animals, even if that isn't really true.

Or tell yourself that it's death is going to a noble cause and that your not dissecting it will make it's life a complete waste of time. making you the bad guy not who or what killed it originally.

I remember doing some dissection stuff at school, but I always hated it and opted out if I could. Organs are not even remotely fascinating in my eyes :lol:

I'd just tell the teacher you don't wanna do it. They can't force you regardless.

As mentioned above, you do have the option to opt out, as I presume its a legal requirement for them to offer this option to you.

We do dissection in the UK, but nothing as far as whole animals. When I was high school, we did particular organs and stuff, which was far more interesting for me personally.

@ peep

I don't know honestly, see, i was ok with dissecting a squid, and then a frog. However, as soon as they brought in the fetal pig I pretty much couldn't bring myself to cut it open (maybe I have a soft spot for mammals?)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on how to desensitize myself. I finished the dissection yesterday. I think i did ok.

It takes a mere second for treasure to turn to trash.

I made all the girls in my group do the dissecting for me in high school. I had no pride, nor shame. It came in handy. My advice is try doing what I did :p

Aaaand this already happened like two weeks ago.

Did you have to dissect anything past a fetal pig? I read a very, very interesting essay on this sort of topic. If anyone is reading this and has some time to read something fascinating as hell, check this out:
