Jennifer Ray’s Legal Blog

A nineteen year old Asheville, North Carolina teenager legally changed her name to cutoutdissection.com to protest animal dissections in high schools.  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. The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that Asheville High graduate Jennifer Thornburg now wants to be called Cutout.   However, she reports that  most of her family members still call her Jennifer. If you need a name change (similar or otherwise!) give me a call at 281.210.0010.
