On a busy winter evening at the University of Illinois veterinary school, professors operated on a dog while students watched on a monitor. In the wildlife medical center, a tree frog recovered from surgery while his neighbor, a box turtle with a cold, drew nourishment from a tiny feeding tube taped to his shell. And in the anatomy lab, a fuzzy pile of gray and white bunny cadavers, having done their service to science, were gently loaded into black plastic bags.<\/p>\n

All in all, it was a typical evening. But down the hall from the anatomy lab, two professors were conducting an unusual experiment: a world religions class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
