Fetal Pig Dissection - Discussion

I thought the fetal pig lab was pretty awesome. After you got over the initial smell and the cutness of this dead baby pig, you were able to marvel at the unique opportunity presented before you. Yes, the pig was cute and had adorable little hair on it's chin and it's life was cruely cut short for ingrateful highschool students, but I think our biology class was quite grateful to these pigs for giving their life up, so we could learn about biology. I know I was grateful. So I took full opportunity to learn as much as I could from this pig who gave up it's life so I could learn from it. It was amazing to see the interconnectedness of all the organs and also how tiny all the organs were. I was surprised to see how small the lungs and heart were and how HUGE the liver was, that was a big surprise. Our group was lucky to get a pig that was acctually very big so we had a good view of all the organs. I am very grateful to this baby pig for giving up it's life so I could learn a little bit more about the awesomeness of biology. Thanks Penelope
