Because stem-cell therapies are relatively new and their side effects have yet to be completely discovered. Long delays associated with the search for organ donors Large payments to secure a bone marrow donor Possibility that the organ may be rejected

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Generating organs using stem cell therapies considered more risky than receiving an organ transplant from another person because in current scenario it is a new technology whose long term effects are completely unknown another disadvantage is that these stem cells are generally derived from embryos that are not patient's own due to which patient's body may reject them. These stem cells are also not the solution for all ailments.
