【新闻】青蛙解剖 - 创新vegan解决方案

在人类进步的过程中，各种类型的科学实验不可避免，但无论是青蛙，小白鼠还是兔子或猴子等都不应该因此被剥夺生命。

In the course of human progress, various types of scientific experiments are inevitable, but neither frogs, mice, rabbits or monkeys should be deprived of their lives just for this.

最近，一款最新研发的人造青蛙模型首次进入了美国佛罗里达州米切尔高中的课堂，并且获得了老师和同学的一致认可。

A new artificial frog model has made its way into a classroom at Mitchell High school in Florida, Mitchell High School is the first in the world to use SynFrogs in science labs.

据悉，这种人造青蛙模型主要是由水、纤维和盐制成的，它们的外形、身体结构和真青蛙一模一样，具有骨骼、肌肉、内脏器官，甚至还有包含卵子的生殖系统，所以从某种意义上说比一般解剖课使用的青蛙标本更逼真。

The models, which are made of water, fiber and salt, have the same body structure as real frogs, with bones, muscles, internal organs and even a reproductive system containing eggs.

“我们很激动地推出我们革命性的SynFrog，这是一个非常优秀的学习工具，因为它被设计成模拟活体组织，这使它更像一只活青蛙，而不是目前出售给学校解剖实验室的保存标本。SynFrog不仅看起来和摸起来像一只真正的青蛙，而且解剖它比解剖一只真正的青蛙更安全，因为它不含潜在的有害化学物质，如福尔马林。我们赞扬帕斯科县的学校采取这一具有里程碑意义的步骤来推进科学教育，我们还要感谢善待动物组织提供的资金支持，它们帮助我们完成了产品的初始开发阶段，使我们能够比先前预期的更快地交付产品。”  —  Christopher Sakezles博士，SynDaver公司创始人兼首席执行官。

“We’re excited to announce our revolutionary SynFrog, which is a far superior learning tool as it is designed to mimic living tissue. This makes it more like a live frog than the preserved specimens currently sold to schools for dissection labs. SynFrog not only looks and feels like a real frog, it’s physically safer to dissect than a real preserved frog because it doesn’t contain potentially harmful chemicals like formalin. We commend Pasco County Schools for taking this monumental step to advance science education, and we want to thank PETA for their funding support, which helped with the initial development phase of the product and enabled us to deliver it faster than previously anticipated.” — Dr. Christopher Sakezles, Founder and CEO of SynDaver.

不过这样一只青蛙模型造价不菲，每只约为150美元，约合人民币1050元。研发人员表示，虽然成本不低，但相比目前解剖课使用的青蛙标本，人造青蛙模型没有使用福尔马林等有害化学物质，而且青蛙模型还可以重复使用，是一种更有效、更安全的教学工具。

SynFrogs cost $150 each. A little expensive though, it’s physically safer to dissect than a real preserved frog because it doesn’t contain potentially harmful chemicals like formalin. The frog model can also be reused, making it a more effective and safe teaching tool.

除了人造青蛙，该公司还拥有用于科学研究和学习的人造狗和猫。

In addition to synthetic frogs, the company also has synthetic dogs and cats for scientific studies & learning.
