Sure, take a frog apart and it dies... Yet by dissecting it you may understand how it moves the way it does, how it works. Why it works.
AND you can use that knowledge to potentially keep other frogs alive! Lots of life-saving surgical procedures can also be summed up as "knowing the anatomy and putting together the broken pieces the way they're supposed to be."
Of course, if you dissect a frog, it's already dead from the start, otherwise it would be a vivisection. Chances are, though, that, if you vivisect a frog, it dies, too.
So basically, don't listen to Jack, at least not in the real world. Be curious, find out how stuff works and never accept "a wizard did it" as an answer. Except for when a wizard really did do it, I guess.
