No and I'd like to keep it that way :)

While FL is a new offering, much of the road we are traveling had already been paved by ththe cord blood industry. We operate under the same criteria they do.

I would be keen on an FDA that allowed for autologous stem cell treatments, meaning stem cells that are from you being put back into you. I think we should be allowed to expand and culture them and reintroduce them therapeutically. So far as I know there is not one documented case of autologous stem cell reintroduction having any negative effects.

It's really easy to say the FDA should be more strict, have more bureaucracy etc. but there are real world implications, life and death implications. I fully realize that there are life-and-death implications of drugs that are hastily approved drugs have life and death implications as well. I think there's a common sense approach that could be found.

I have realized over the course of my professional career is that the more familiar you are with an industry, vertical or area of business the more you realize how ridiculous the bureaucracy therein is. When you're outside of those areas you think that the health inspector in your town should have 1 million codes to hold your coffee shop hostage to and to keep us all safe. But when you run one, you see how bloated and ridiculous it is. Much of it is appropriate but so much of it is excessive.
