dissection...

i'm feeling a lot... today wasnt a very good day for me... we had dissection for bio prac... i was so excited initially cos i'm finally able to get my hands on some living creatures and to explore the wonders of their bodies.

i even asked our ct to take some pics for us as she sat in the lesson to learn more... after witnessing the pinning session of the rat on the tray, i took a picture of it...

then i noticed some of my classmates were crying and our bio tutor was showing us the crucified form of the rat. and i came to realise that i couldnt take any more pics, i dun have the heart to... it juz seems so cruel and unethical. i felt darn sad for the rat... ppl may think it's funny to feel so... and i did feel that it's strange for ppl to feel sad for animal experimentations in the past and was an adherent of such experimentations as i strongly believed in the deaths of animals for science progression.

but then, after i really got my hands on a rat and having its innocent face staring at me as it was pinned down on the tray, i couldn't help but feel sad... and that all this was... hai... who are we to kill them? and now i really understand how those vehement supporters of animal rights have felt over this controversial issue. after having this 1st hand experience, my views have totally changed... i'm pro towards animal rights now! well, i hope that such a thot do stir up such emotions in contemporary scientists, or else what's the purpose of having us called humans? blaa... and i felt real guilty for my insensitivity towards these animals be4 the practical... hai...

in my time back in DHS long, long ago, i remember dissecting rabbits, frogs, mice and heaps of organs like eyeballs, kidneys, liver, lungs etc...

dissecting the rabbits were always the saddest thing because they look cute. frogs? we didn't care. mice? okay lah.

well, for the advancement of science and knowledge, we need to balance ethics that is. think of it this way: the rat died so you can gain more knowledge, and so just thank it for his gallant death. oh man, it seems like i'm making a joke out of it.

btw, i think i saw mingjit on singtel website! mingjit a model ah?!
