Well if they castigated Obama for swatting a fly, they would certainly protest you vivisecting a mythological creature.
I can't have people thinking I'm a TOTAL monster (just partially... a lot like these critters we've been talking about.)
I wouldn't want that kind of study to take place until after said being passed away (preferably from natural causes), and to be honest, I think I'd be a bit too squeamish to be present at the actual dissection.
I'd probably just wait for the YouTube video or better yet, for someone to make full-color diagrams, just like you'd see in a classroom, book, or at a doctor's office.
All the information but without the blood and gore!!
