Several months ago, a few articles came out about scientists creating "Frankenbunny": fusing human cells with a rabbit egg in efforts to advance stem cell research without using human eggs. Today, Dr. Peter Angora takes a break from his groundbreaking research to talk with our own Miss Scarlet about rabbits and science.

Scarlet: We often think of rats being used in laboratories, but rabbits have also traditionally been used in research. What is the advantage of using rabbit eggs in these experiments?

Dr. Angora: Let me ask you: would you rather more humans resemble rats, or fuzzy wuzzy wittle bunny wabbits?

Scarlet: I'll pass on the fuzzy. We'll see about the wuzzy.

Dr. Angora: Ah-ah-ah! You know what they say: "No fuzzy without the wuzzy!"

MS: Uh...sure. So...what about other advantages? Say that an embryo could be made from these cells, would the result really be some sort of "Frankbunny," or perhaps a giant man-bun?

Angora: Aside from the scientific possibilities in treating disease, this could result in a race of super-humans...well, super-cute humans. Which really would be super-human, because who can resist a cute widdle face? No one can resist it. No they can not! No they can no-ot!

MS: I'm going to have to ask you to stop that.

Angora: But they're just the cutest widdle embryos! Yes they are! Yes they are!

MS: That's one.

Angora: Aw, come on! What about the fuzzy tail action?

MS: Actually, I prefer humans with fuzz-free tails.

Angora: ...and their adorable widdle noses that move up and down...

MS: Seriously Doctor, it's unprofessional to be nuzzling my nose like that....

Angora: ...and the ridunkulously cute way they perk their ears up like satellites....

MS: That is pretty ridunk! Er, let's talk more about the advantages of the emergence of widdle--ahem--little Suzy Cottontails.

Angora: Well, I don't want to speculate too broadly, but there have been discussions about its possible positive impact on childhood obesity.

MS: How's that, Doctor?

Angora: Everyone knows bunnies don't get fat, just fluffy.

MS: Well, there's no arguing with that. Speaking of the little ones, let me ask you this: many people think babies smell cute. I think bunnies smell cute. Could this combination possibly please noses everywhere?

Angora: It's too early to forecast that, but I think it's safe to say that there will certainly be opportunities opening in the "baby-scented" product market. You know: powder, oil, women's deodorant.... Not to mention the clothing market. This mixture is only 0.1% rabbit, but depending on where that manifests itself, we could be looking at a whole new wardrobe, especially in hats and pants. Gotta make room for those cuddly-wuddly --

MS: Doctor!

Angora: Sorry.

MS: Before we finish up, here, Doctor Angora, I gotta ask you...off the record of course...would that little bit of rabbit in all of us affect the...you know...bedroom activities? You know what they say about "Doing it like..."

Angora: Ha! Um, yes, I suppose "they" do say that! Well let's just say this future race may be approached by the Discovery Channel someday. Of course, not my little rabbit, she's a good bunny. Yes, you are my little princess! You're such a good bunny!

MS: Um...Doctor?

Angora: Daddy loves you, yes he does!

MS: The Doctor has, er...left the building, but we'd like to thank him for being with us today. Join us next month for a special report entitled "Llama, llama...duck?"
