I had to post this, it was just too interesting not to.

Virginia resident Jennifer Thornburg has officially changed her legal name to CutoutDissection.com. When asked why she decided to change her name this was her answer.

“I changed my name in order to raise awareness about the six million animals that are killed for dissection each year. These animals suffer painful deaths and their bodies are then used in labs when computer stimulations, diagrams, or 3D models could be used instead. Cutting up animals in school sends the message to students that an animal’s life is worthless. I don’t think that’s a message teachers should be sending. With so many cheaper, more educational and humane ways to learn, there is no reason for students to be dissecting in high schools today. I hope to raise awareness on this subject, and to cause teachers and students to say no to dissection, and yes to alternative ways to learn anatomy”.

I stumbled upon this article on CNN then followed to the source, click here to read the entire story.
