Sodomy non sapiens

A friend of mine has a daughter at school and is wondering whether they should take Latin - whether they would find it actually useful later on for other subjects.  They think that it would be useful for science, and also for wanting to be a doctor or a vet.

Anyone got any opinions on this?

Yes, true, the phrases are being phased out. From experience, I haven't come accross any cases or legislation in Latin that I've needed to read. And tbh, a GCSE in Latin would be inadequate for that anyway.

The old cases can be bad enough in English :)
