ATTENTION! If you want to preserve access to your own adipose (fat), stem cells and biological tissue than you need to act now. The future in regenerative medicine may be set back by a new FDA guidance that limits the definitions of what functions a tissue performs.

Mitch McConnell has expressed how ridiculous taking cells from one location on your body and transferring them to another location on your body should not be limited by limiting definitions of “homology” (performs same or similar function). In FDA’s proposed limiting definition of adipose (fat) they have gone so far as to define a breast as only functioning as a mammary gland, and therefore the reconstruction after mastectomy using adipose (fat) is NOT homologous (performs same or similar function) and therefore not allowed.
