Daniella Monet PETA Anti-Dissection Ad And The App For That (Video)

Daniella Monet recalls the day she had to dissect an animal in class.
“The one memory I have, as far as dissecting goes, is in elementary school. I cried—a lot—and I was actually sent to the nurse’s office, and I used the phone to call my mom and say that I couldn’t do it.”
“It’s gross. It’s sad. I do think teachers should provide an alternative…And if kids stand up for themselves … it’ll definitely make a world’s difference.”
Hoping other adolescents won’t go through the same experience, Monet is posing in this PETA ad titled, “I Choose Not To Dissect.”
If you’re looking for an alternative to dissect for yourself, your child or students, you should know…there’s an app for that!
The Frog Dissection application by Emantras Inc. gives the educational experience of science class minus the guts and flesh of a real animal and having to fight with your ethics or the school board on making the decision to dissect.
Frog Dissection features full color images of the frog’s organs in 3D with detailed labels about animal classification, lifestyle, organ function and more.
There is a voiceover for instructions and reading, as well as a comparison of the human body versus the frog body.
Dissection is done much like in real life with tools like pins, markers, scissors and forceps used in a touch operated form of exploring the anatomy of the frog.
