Speaking (just a little) in jest..

Now, lets wait a minute before we start complaining
about this tissue bank license requirement...  Is
there not some way we could exploit this?  If human
milk is decreed by CA law to be a tissue, in need of
special licensing, then would not a substitute require
special approval?  Perhaps the manufacturers could be
required, on this basis to prove the substitute safe
and effective just like a mechanical heart would have
to be proved safe and effective to be used in lieu of
a donor heart?
