Is it possible to donate fat cells to others?

c_pax99
Blood can be donated. Plasma,RBC,etc. crazy as it sounds,has anyone looked into researching Lipase(fat cell)Donations?Like to burn victims or anorexic/bulimic patients?Or researched ways to utilize fat cells for anything used in everyday life.whale fat is used for many things.Even burned & used for warmth/energy.I know it sounds silly & I'm not sure this is a question for a doctor or engineer but with the majority of Americans overweight it seems to be a plentiful & renewable. Any insight?
