Yes, but this particular item has been treated/preserved. Why are people taking issue to this item being sold? I'm confused.
EDIT: Listed under the 'Learning Aids' section of their store, this is the items description:
"Complete cow reproductive tract including ovaries, oviducts, uterus, vagina, bladder, and external organ.
Preserved with modified Nasco’s exclusive Bio-Flex process, a patented (Patent No. 3,573,082),
odorless, nontoxic solution that takes the place of formaldehyde, thus allowing for complete flexibility. Extremely lifelike. Ideal for instruction of the manipulative process in artificial insemination and the study of the gross anatomy of the female reproductive system. Dissectible specimens shipped in plastic bags. Can be transferred permanently to airtight glass jars or sealed plastic bags and used repeatedly for long periods of time."
EDIT 2: This company seems to specialize in selling items for medical education. From their 'About us' section: "eNasco has what you’re looking for — school supplies, farm and ranch products, art materials, health care trainers, educational and teacher resources, senior care items, and more!"
