If you think that's cool then you should check out glow in the dark rabbits.

Sorry but your answer gives me the feeling that you didn't even read the article.

After you guys talked about glowing plants, then you seem to be amazed by glowing rabbits, who are used for scientific experiments.

Prove me wrong please. How exactly do you think that is so cool?

Bioluminescent rabbits used to demonstrate a potential technique of intervention in deadly diseases need to justify being cool?

I think you dont understand what I meant by my message. I think that it's important for people to understand that the cool part is the as you said: "intervention in deadly diseases". All I meant by my answer is I am getting a feeling from the response by u/alakeya that he/she thinks the cool part is the glowing rabbits and not understanding the real point of curing the diseases

No, I think that you’re misunderstanding something here. Me saying that something is cool does not exclude the scientific and medical research that has been put through and its purpose. Every single medical treatment has a side effect, and honestly, the fact that unlike some other potential treatments that can be a possible cause of death, this one causes bioluminescence, is pretty damn rad. I don’t understand what you’re trying to imply here, you’re bothered that I got excited by two interesting researchers?

All I did was ask you to explain why you're excited. I thank you for that. Nothing more, nothing less ;)

Have a good day

edit: that is why I said I'm getting a feeling, please explain. Didn't mean no offense by it what so ever.

It’s all good, man. Sorry I snapped, seemed like you were trying to portray my thought process as something different. Have a nice day too!

Bioluminescent animals are cool to me by default. Showing someone fireflies for the first time because they're from an area in which they aren't indigenous is like the first time someone sees snow in their 20's. Bioluminescent bunnies are pretty cool little guys to me by default. The fact that we can make them is also kinda cool. As far as if we should be making them, we're not really discussing that. It's intentionally not within the scope of this discussion. To me it feels like this is what bothers you.
