FDA Regulating Your Stem Cells As Interstate Commerce
New submitter dcbrianw writes "A non-surgical procedure that treats joint pain involves removing stem cells from a patient's blood and reinserting them into the joint. The facility conducting these procedures resides in Colorado, but because it orders equipment to perform the procedure from outside of Colorado, the FDA claims it must regulate this process and that it can classify stem cells as a drug. This issue opens the debate of what the FDA, or other regulatory bodies, may regulate within each of our own bodies." Quick: Name five activities with no possible plausible effect on interstate commerce.
Your post itself interferes with interstate commerce. I googled your email and you seem to be from california. I was going to take my next vacation there but now that I know you hate america, I will probably not. I will also tell my friends not to go there. I'm sure you clearly see how your terroristic behavior has no place in a free society like ours! The DHS is on the way...
"No, this is regulating the shipment of potentially biohazardous material across state lines."
A curious theory considering nothing in the article mentioned transporting stem cells across state lines.
Well, suppose your culture grows out of control, into some hideous monster, which would even give J. J. Abrams the night terrors and start roaming the country side? They'd have a point then methinks.

You know, I don't see ANYTHING in that statement that precludes stems cells turning into a horrible monster that then roams the countryside, perhaps even leaving Colorado! I think the FDA might want to know if this happens and, thus, control it. The FDA appears to be only thinking of us, and trying to protect us form gross abominations of nature that might be coming to harm us. And it sounds like you don't want this. Which makes me wonder if you're a terrorist. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Hmmm? Maybe the FDA wants to know that as well.
Everything you know is wrong, Just forget the words and sing along.
