I love the drama sequence of the photos – that’s life, that’s reality – kiling of each other and being scared by that

This is as pre-historic or barbaric as being a non-vegetarian every day of one’s life. Not imagining these scenes before eating meat in a restaurant doesn’t make that any different than this.

And being a vegetarian because of one’s religion rather than an active life-choice, is just as pre-historic.

Vishal,
I wish that you could have dispelled your scientific naiveté by googling the relevance of frog dissection at a med school.
Med students sacrifice frogs or for that matter, rats for nerve-muscle phsyiology experiments (frogs make terrific experimental animals ) and animal models for pharmacology( we btest drugs on rats before you buy them from Pfizer,Cipla)
The Ethics committee formulates the guidelines on dissection and research and students (including myself) follow them. Dissection (in rats , in frogs and even in human cadavers ) is completely legal, ethical and moral as long as universal guidelines are followed(which we do)

And by the way butchers too can yearn to be medical graduates !

Medical Pvt Ltd …

Students must be assessed on their compassion, empathy and humanistic values before they are allowed to enroll. This was gross violation of MEDICAL ETHICS … wonder if ETHICS COMMITTEE was sleeping or what? Why were such practiced allowed? What were teachers doing? Why was the student not expelled? Why allow butchers to practice as Medical Doctors?

Talking of cruelty, I am reminded of the over 40/50 frogs that we MBBS undergrads kill, nay sacrifice, at AIIMS in our first year. I gradually became such a sadist that i even volunteered to kill the frogs of my weak hearted female batchmates and even once ‘stunned and pithed’ ( ie killed) a male bull frog while it was in its amplexus ( mating position). The realization of my perverted psychology later disgusted and made me psycho analyze myself.All for the good.

that was your daily dose of ‘stark realism’.

Even though it happens and the reality is there staring us in the face, you could have avoided some of the pics.
