It is way more expensive for schools to keep buying disposable dead animals for dissection year after year as opposed to buying one batch of computer programs like the ones the medical schools use. In fact these computer programs tend to be donated free of charge to schools from various charities.
Dissection Bad For Environment
Dissection animal formaldehyde is known to be a hazardous air and water pollutant and waste material according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. When teachers or students dispose of the cut up animals with these toxic chemicals some simply throw them out in the trash and pour the liquid down the drain. Cities and towns have detected formaldehyde in their drinking water, rainwater, lake water, and other waterways.
Environmental Hazards of Dissection
Chemicals used to preserve dead animals for dissection such as formaldehyde and formalin (diluted form of formaldehyde) both cause cancer in humans and pollute the environment. Careless or irresponsible disposal of these preservatives or animal remains can contaminate water and soil and harm wildlife.
