Ok, but that is not what they are doing, apparently. And wouldn't alot of children still hae very negative reactions this that?
Well yes, but not many of them actually end up being physicians. It is just a normal science course. At least if it is the same as here in UK.College biology and especially med school students need to experience the physical manipulation of the tissue, since so much of what is done is by feel, rather than sight. I for one want to have physicians who have practiced on someone else first!
