I had a choice in college biology of the survey (idiot's version) and the rigorous version, and took the rigorous version. The lab was strictly baseline, no skills, all freshmen. The students in the lab were just getting aware of a lab type stuff.

They did want to do a vivisection (live animal disection for everyone that has not had the pleasure) of a frog. I would not go. I wanted to be an engineer at the time, and it was truly silly to disect a live animal in a baseline class. If the class was just pre vet, pre med, or pre anything that cuts into any kind of animals, it would make sense. It was not.

I don't mind killing an animal if there is a need, but to replicate an experiment on adrenaline's effect on the heart of a living frog does not "cut it".

Nah I don't think I'd want to kill an animal like that either for the sake of it. The frogs we used were already dead. If I was going to be a vet, fine, but not for computer programming.
