OBSERVATIONS / DISCUSSION

Although the first assumption would be that dissecting a piglet would be not only disgusting but incredibly inhumane, that is not how the situation pans out. For one the pig was never alive, but a still born who died in the fetus. For another the experimenter has to put aside all squeamishness to really grasp what a unique chance they are recieving too get an inside look, not only an inside look but to be the one in charge, of a look at the anatomy of a mammal. Not only is it incredibly interesting but it was truly informative to be able to look and open any organs to get a better grasp of exactly how each thing functions.
Though more tools and possibly diagrams could have helped not only for the analysis but for the searching through the fetal pig could have been incredibly helpful, the dissection itself went very smoothly. Which it should since it has been in the Grade Eleven, biology curriculum for many years by now. The only thing that could be changed is the first initial cuts which could be done by someone more experienced. Just because for first timers, and for the squeamish the first cut is not only the hardest emotionally and for the stomach but can cut through important organs as well as how each experimenter cut through it could cause their pigs to look slightly different causing for a multitude of different results.
