Teen Changed Her Name to Cutout Dissection.com

A 19-year-old teen formerly known as Jennifer Thornburg has legally changed her name to Cutout Dissection.com to protest animal dissection assignments in school:

Cutout, now a vegan, said that after she finished the assignment the images of bone and skin stuck with her. "I remembered what I saw during the dissection and I thought, 'this is wrong.' "
Those images are what compelled her to stand up for a change -- a name change. Jennifer Thornburg is now Cutout Dissection.com, as even her driver's license notes. [...]
No matter her steadfastness in sticking to principles, this newsmaker raises the question: What do Mom and Dad think?
Cutout said that her father's initial reaction was shock, but he recently said how proud he was of her for standing up for what she believes in.

Soon we may get stories like the following one,

google.com and yahoo.com are friends. They met apple.com and msn.com in a party.....

Whatever. If she wants to be stupid and be stuck with a stupid name then fine. Like Another Jake said, she just won't be in those fields.

"I remembered what I saw during the dissection and I thought, ‘this is wrong.’ "

Okay, so now you're going to remember it forever, everytime you have to fill out a form. Brilliant move, genius.

Ah, a meaningless gesture by a spoiled brat in a first world country. Whatever happened to setting yourself on fire to make a protest?

freedom of expression is swell, but you'd think the courts would not allow one to use .com in their name.

and this girl is a tool, in both the figurative and the literal sense of the word. a tool of PETA, being used.

Someday a 404 Not Found error will throw this girl into an existential crisis.

Why would they want to dissect cutouts?

If the animal is already dead and you're not actively desecrating it, what's the problem? If it weren't for dissection, we'd still think our veins carried air instead of blood. I wonder what she thinks of human dissection by medical students? Or abortion? Or euthanasia? Or life-saving vaccines and cures for third-world scourges found through animal testing? The list goes on.

Well, we could always just dissect CRIMINALS! :)

without following the link, i would assume that she means to eliminate live dissections in high school classes. i think everyone(i would hope) recognizes that while such dissections are important for students studying medecine, they're not necessary for first year bio students. technology these days has provided us with computer simulations of dissections that are more cost-effective in the long-run, anyway.

I'm sure all her friends support her retarded decision.

So, I went to cutoutdissection.com and followed a link for kindergarteners through 6th graders on the petakids website (http://www.petakids.com/disindex.html). Essentially it was a starter kit on how to sue your school on the grounds that you won't dissect an animal for moral or religious reasons (oh, it even says you don't have to have any moral or religious reasons why you won't do it, you just have to tell the teacher/principal that). Hurray for PETA for completely exploiting children for their cause.

Did she also consider "will never get laid.com" or "who needs friends.com". Well atleast she is young. Not like she has her name on auto loans, mortgages or credit cards or investments...that would be a royal pain.

I'd hit that.

I'm strongly against dissection.I'm not relegious.Its that I would gag if I open a animal and I strongly love animals and would hate to atfer-kill them.hehe.I would even cry when I see it on computer.
