So did God do a bad thing to our poor rabbits?
Should Godwin Baxter return the rabbits to their original form - or is it kinder to keep them as they are?
This is the verdict so far…
Two wrongs don’t make a right – leave the poor rabbits as they are.
Try to repair the damage - return the poor rabbits to their natural state.
Experimentation is essential to progress – try operating on the rabbits again.
Why stop now – forget about the rabbits and move on to bigger beings.
