Dissection choice signed into Connecticut law

As the deadline approached, Connecticut’s Gov. Dannel Malloy signed a state dissection choice bill into law! Connecticut makes 16 states plus Washington D.C. that have laws or policies allowing students modern alternatives to traditional dissection.

Thank you, NEAVS’ Connecticut supporters, for contacting your state senators and representatives and helping to make this happen.

As we celebrate the victory in Connecticut for students, animals, and education, NEAVS and our educational affiliate, the Ethical Science Education Coalition (ESEC), continues to work to guarantee cruelty-free alternatives to dissection in every state. If your state does not protect a student’s right to dissection choice, contact us today to find out how, together, we can make this happen.

dissection should be relegated to
the history books,
on print and paper only,
if one wants to look.
