Practicing humane, anesthetized surgery on dogs that are going to be killed anyway is a very good thing. Synthesized models like TraumaMan cost tens of thousands of dollars PER UNIT, and don't emulate differences in anatomy well.
Additionally, automated e-mails like those sent by the link you posted are generally ignored, since the information in them wasn't written (or often, even read) by the people sending them. It's comparable to when you get pre-generated mail replies from the White House.
No, that's not what's going on. The school is using lost pets. You might want to actually read about what's going on. It's not just that they are practicing surgery on them. they are also destroying them afterwards. People have went to find their pets at the shelter only to find out that U of M killed them already.
I should have rephrased when I made this post, it's not just an automated email, you do get to personalize it.
And also, models such as TraumaMan have been approved for use, they are definitely adequate and no one gets hurt. Plus, anyone who knows anything about science can tell you that when you're studying life saving procedures for humans, you don't want to practice on a species with different anatomy.
Yes, I obviously know nothing about science. [/sarcasm]
In most ways, dog anatomy doesn't vary from human anatomy more than human anatomy differs within its own species. (See: Situs inversus, affecting just under 1 in 10,000 people.) For the purposes of the procedures that are being taught, the difference is negligible. I find it hilarious that housewives and emo kids think they know better on this subject than some of the nation's foremost medical experts
