U. Penn Bio classes offer virtual dissection - Jamie Maak, Daily Pennsylvanian

Beginning in lab sessions next week, over 350 students enrolled in introductory biology courses are being presented an alternative to the traditional slice-and-dice method of dissection learning. Through a new alternative of "virtual dissection," students may opt to explore the insides of selected animals with the use of Web site photographs, plastic models and instructional CD-ROMs. "Over the years, we've had some objections by some students... due to ethical reasons," said Linda Robinson, coordinator for Penn's biological laboratories.
