ASHEVILLE -- A 19-year-old Asheville teenager says she legally changed her name to CutoutDissection.com to protest animal dissections in schools.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports 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.
