A North Carolina teen, Jennifer Thornburg has legally changed her name to CutoutDissection.com to protest animal dissections in schools. The 19-year-old's new name is also the Web address for an anti-dissection page of the site for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, where she is interning. "I normally do have to repeat my name several times when I am introducing myself to someone new,"  she said. "Once  they find out what my name is, they want to know more about what the Web site is about." The teen says she began opposing dissections in middle school after a class assignment to cut up 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 says most of her family members still call her Jennifer. "It will take me a while," said her dad. "She's  still Jennifer to me. I understand why she's done it. Believe it or not, I totally respect it."
