[Bulla's never faked cramps or illness to get out of dissections but she will admit that it's nasty and unnecessary when technological advancements allow for alternatives.]

I can sort of understand why they teach that, but what I don't get is why they don't just have a computer version of the dissection, or fake rubber frogs. It would smell better and then they wouldn't have to use real frogs. Like, it's good to understand how bodies work and what animals have in common with human bodies, but...yuck.
