Biohacking has the potential to revolutionize science, but its success should not be defined by spectacle or shock value—it must be measured by meaningful advancements that respect animal autonomy, protect vulnerable species, and prioritize compassion over human curiosity.
“Rabbits are not commodities,” says Paige K. Parsons, President of The Rabbit.org Foundation. “Genetic modification for profit ignores their welfare and fuels reckless breeding. This sets a dangerous precedent for animal exploitation.”
By choosing to adopt from a rescue, individuals can make a positive impact on the lives of these vulnerable animals and help foster a culture of compassion and responsibility.
