Student Choice Laws and policies have been implemented in many states, allowing students from kindergarten to high school the right to choose humane alternatives to animal dissection.

 

Please note, however, that regardless if the state you live in offers a student choice law or policy, if you believe dissection is wrong, you have the right to learn humanely.  Your personal and moral beliefs are your religious beliefs and you will be protected.  If your teacher or school is forcing you to dissect or threatening you with failure, please contact us.  We will work with your school to allow you to use a humane alternative and still learn the life sciences.
