CutoutDissection.com is teen's new name
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27166911/?GT1=43001

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - A 19-year-old Asheville teenager said she legally changed her name to CutoutDissection.com to protest animal dissections in schools.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Asheville High graduate Jennifer Thornburg now wants to be called Cutout. Her new legal name is the Web address for an anti-dissection page of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' site.

The teenager said she began opposing dissections in middle school, after a class assignment to dissect a chicken wing made her uncomfortable. She helped create a policy at her high school that allows students who object to dissections to complete an alternative assignment.

She is now an intern for PETA. She said most of her family members still call her Jennifer.




Good for her for taking up a cause, but changing her name to a website that probably won't exist in a couple years is just silly.

1. Eh, it's a free country
I personally believe I gained absolutely NOTHING from cutting up stinking dead animals. But then again, I hated school in the first place.
