Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Frog Vivisection

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A frog wakes up from chloroform induced "sleep" and sits in a jumping position with its underside cut open and its organs hanging

I was really surprised to see this happen. This image, I believe, illustrates the short lived effects of chloroform, the endurance of a frog and the mishap of a vivisection.

Created and nominated by Muhammad Mahdi. I have not yet used this picture in any article as some people find this image disturbing, gross and out of wiki project. I obviously dont think so and have nominated it here to see what you guys think before I do so.

Comments:

  • Honestly, the only use I can think of for this picture is anti-vivisection propaganda. It doesn't illustrate dissection, it doesn't illustrate chloroform (this only illustrates what happens when an anesthetic is NOT being administered, not what happens when an anesthetic is being administered), and I hope to hell it doesn't illustrate normal procedures at any institution in any part of the word. A single accident is not encyclopedic, and this is not endurance; it is the failure of anesthetic. Since an encyclopedia does not exist to create propaganda and this image image simply illustrates a horrible accident, it is not, in any way I can think of, encyclopedic.
