The majority of medical schools in the United States, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale, have replaced their use of live animals in physiology, pharmacology, and/or surgical-training exercises with humane and effective non-animal teaching methods (e.g., observation of actual human cardiac bypass surgery, patient simulators, cadavers, sophisticated computer programs, etc.).
Unfortunately, a number of less progressive institutions continue to cut into and kill dogs and other animals in what can only be described as glorified sessions of show and tell.
