Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 I know several people that went to the school directors and had other alternatives set up for them to learn that section of the class and did not do the disection.... Has to be well presented...the alternatives have to be complete, informative, well done and well stated. But it can be gotten out of with some work...though it may be a bit late for you > Tanaista > Mon, 6 Mar 2000 17:26:42 -0600 > " Flowergirl " <lollypop >Re:tofu > >ach-- i'm not sure how relevant this is, but i'm so upset... >I'm only in high school, and in biology, we're dissecting all these >animals.

Right now we are disecting rats and i try not to participate as much as i can without failing. Even if I didn't do it the rat would still be disected by my lab partner, he would just have to do it himself. I still feel really bad doing it though. I complain the entire class and the teacher just keeps ripping on me or warning me of failing. argh! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Party that comes (very) close to embracing such an ethic is, in my opinion, the Green Party. While they are pro-choice, they make it clear in their platform that they believe abortion should not be determined by economic, social, or political factors. They want to reform adoption policies to improve that choice as well. And, essentially, the implications of their entire platform would really eliminate the need for the vast majority of abortions altogether.

I'm sorry to hear that you are strugling so much at the moment. I think counselling is definitely a good idea. I've been there myself and found that counselling worked much better than any drug. I managed to work through my issues and they haven't bothered me since. And also feel free to talk about food related issues such as these here. This isn't just a group for recipe sharing. Issues like these are very important and are definitely worth discussing."I hated the antidepressants because I lost mental acuity. But I'm thinking being a bit fuzzy might be better than eating myself to death." I'm taking anti depressants at the moment because i am being treated for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). One of the symptoms of CFS is fuzzyness/foggyness so i know just what you mean. I haven't been on the tablets long enough yet to know if they're gonna make it better or worse. Anyway. I guess i just wanted to say i'm thinking of you. :::big hug::: ~*Laura*~ Plus - For a better Internet experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still seeing a physio and i'm going for compensation because i lost wages etc when i couldn't work. But generally its ok. I also found out one of my legs is slightly longer than the other and one side of my pelvis is raised when it shouldn't be. Things i have always had which make me a bit susceptioble to back problems anyway i expect. Anyway, thanks for your kindness! ~*Laura*~ Plus - For a better Internet experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
