The term "vivisection" (from the Latin vivi, for "live") means the dissection or study of a live organism, usually for scientific research. Killing animals in this way is opposed by animal rights organizations as unnecessary cruelty. Animals in scientific research may be biopsied or have tissue removed while alive as opposed to after euthanasia. Such work is overseen today by ethics committees.
