While each school system has its own set of policies on the matter of dissection, you might be able to avoid this task. What you will need to do is have a conversation with the instructor of the course in which you will be required to dissect something, and discuss with them your possible options. I know that in my school, many students were are to avoid this task be taking on extra work or writing an extensive paper, but like I said all school have their own polices. Contact your instructor, and discuss with them what option you have other than preforming dissection. It never hurts to ask.
