Is this why we have laws against spitting on the side walk? Buccal epithelial cells have rights?

True. Clinical specimens and biological products without infectious materials may be mailed only if they are clearly marked as such, must contain a biohazard symbol, and must follow strict packaging guidelines. I had to take a Cortisol Salivary test once, this involved spitting into various plastic tubes and mailing them off to a lab somewhere. This involved a sealed plastic bag and a labeled box with a special sticker.

How about requiring all men who use Viagra to mail the Governor their empty bottles or blister packs?

This a great plan, and I think it's fantastic, with the dumptruck and all. The only problem is, the Far Right Dishonorable Actual Bridge Dwelling Troll Gov Abbot doesn't actually live in the Governor's mansion.It's being renovated.Again.Fair dues, this is because they were almost done with renovations a few years ago, before someone firebombed it.Not sure if Abbot is doing as Goodhair did, and charging the state an exorbitant amount for a Tarrytown mini mansion while he awaits his rightful palace (which is really looking a little shabby compared to the neighbors, maybe oughta get it fixed up...).

Since spontaneous miscarriages and fertilized eggs that do not implant in the uterus will all need mortuary services, and those events often occur completely unnoticed, Texas will need to institute uterine-based or possibly toilet-based detection systems to detect these tragic losses of fully human cell clusters.
