I stand corrected (I did before I got to your response to me) - I posted knee-jerk. Blame it on the cat thing. Mine right now is sitting next to me on the desk. :)

Anyway, you're absolutely right - it's an elective, it involves advanced dissection (we only got as far as fetal pigs in regular HS bio and the stink of formaldehyde stuck for weeks!) and if she is taking it, she must be headed somewhere besides Votech. So she should suck it up or opt out of the class altogether and give her future plans a second thought.

That said though, I personally still wouldn't dissect a cat. But then again, I couldn't cut into a human being either so wouldn't need the elective for med school I'd never attend.
