I personally don't like dissections. I hope I don't freak out when I'm a dentist. Hopefully I will gain a better stomach for such things.
I thought the pig dissection was really nice and fundamentally educational. I just didnt like the smell that much. The step by step instructions and the way the body of the pig just falls out piece by piece is very... awe-inspiring. I liked how we could get all of the insides out in the end, and have measurements of all the parts too. It was... bio heaven. The digestive tract was the most impressive part, because we had to be delicate and careful when removing it and when we were measuring it.
Sadly, there is no protection against the smell of decaying bodies of little pigs...
