Thirty frog dissection kits, which serve 300 biology students for five years, cost $6,800.ДЄ license for Digital Frog 2.5, which the school will receive at no cost, is priced at $884. Saving money is the primary reason to dump the preserved specimens, Stipp said.

Schools currently pay $300 or more for an annual software license, though many virtual programs are free and some organizations will loan them out without charge. The mission is not to promote this one software, but to encourage schools to embrace any of the scores of online alternatives available, Kriger said. Rancho Verde, part of the Val Verde Unified School District, quickly jumped on the online challenge this past April. вЂњIt seems wrong, cutting into something.вЂќ With plans to become a medical researcher, sheвЂ™s excited about the prospect of making kinder, gentler cuts with a virtual blade than with a real scalpel. вЂњThe thought of dissection makes me feel kind of queasy,вЂќ said Alice Nguyen, 15, a freshman at Rancho Verde High.

Rancho Verde has received the software and will begin using it by the end of the year after phasing out its preserved specimen kits. Kriger, an ecologist and founder of Save the Frogs!, an amphibian conservation nonprofit group based in Santa Cruz. Therefore, the goal is to get every middle and high school in the United States to abandon their frog dissection programs by 2014, said Dr. Raising or nabbing frogs to cut up in classroom contributes to their rapidly dwindling populations worldwide. They say that millions of frogs are removed from wetland habitats, stuffed into sacks and inhumanely killed by immersion in preservatives.

They will donate full Digital Frog 2.5 licenses to the first 25 schools that agree to end all animal dissections, which many educators still value as important anatomy and physiology lessons.ДЄnimal rights activists oppose the capture, transport, warehousing and killing of animals destined for dissection, claiming it causes unnecessary suffering and death. Two nonprofit groups, Animal Welfare Institute and Save the Frogs!, are sponsoring the вЂњRace to Stop DissectionsвЂќ contest.

Today 14 states - including California - protect a studentвЂ™s choice to learn about animal anatomy without a pickled critter, knife, chemicals and churning stomach.

The growing number of technological alternatives today is making it possible for thousands of students to swap their scalpels and scissors for the click of a computer mouse. Without the actual touching, a computer dissection canвЂ™t be as realistic, he allowed, вЂњbut itвЂ™s not so drastically different that the kids wonвЂ™t get something out of it.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s arguably not the same as doing it with a real animal,вЂќ said Rancho Verde assistant principal Kevin Stipp, who taught science from 1986 to 2000. In exchange for the minimum five-year promise, the school will switch to virtual-dissection programs with free software worth almost $1,000 provided by a partnership of animal-friendly educators. Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley is the first and, so far, only school in the country to accept an animal rights groupвЂ™s challenge to stop dissections, especially frogs.
