In middle school, I had to dissect an earthworm, a snail, a frog, and
a fetal pig. I did not like doing this. It's not that I was some
animal-rights activist, I just found it to be thoroughly disgusting. I
decided then in the eighth grade that under no circumstances was I
going to be a doctor.
Instead, I became an Internet blogger who writes stories about this
new transparent goldfish being developed in Japan. The idea is that
taking dead things apart to see how they work is gross. The solution
is to mess with nature to the point that you can see how an animal
works while it's still alive. That's also gross, but at least you
don't feel like you have to sterilize your hands after your study so
you can eat lunch.
