I am curious, why are there more privacy issues for liposuction
than blood or breast milk? I assume it can be donated for research
anonymously just as any other body part or fluid can.
I would be concerned that liposuction samples might lead to a skewed
sample since there are many more people who provide urine, blood
and even breast milk samples than lipsuction samples and so are
probably more representative of the population.

Thanks for clarifying,
