Question

Why might generating organs using cell therapies be considered more risky than receiving an organ transplant from another person?

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 4

is it A? this is a guess though , im not sure

Answer 5

I thought D

Answer 6

As we each have a different blood type, and yes it can be rejected

Answer 7

Stem-cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Bone marrow transplant is the most widely used stem-cell therapy, but some therapies derived from umbilical cord blood are also in use. Research is underway to develop various sources for stem cells, and to apply stem-cell treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and conditions, diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions.

With the ability of scientists to isolate and culture embryonic stem cells, and with scientists' growing ability to create stem cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer and techniques to create induced pluripotent stem cells, controversy has crept in, both related to abortion politics and to human cloning. Additionally, efforts to market treatments based on transplant of stored umbilical cord blood have been controversial.


Medical uses

For over 30 years, bone marrow has been used to treat cancer patients with conditions such as leukaemia and lymphoma; this is the only form of stem-cell therapy that is widely practiced.[1] [2] [3] During chemotherapy, most growing cells are killed by the cytotoxic agents. These agents, however, cannot discriminate between the leukaemia or neoplastic cells, and the hematopoietic stem cells within the bone marrow. It is this side effect of conventional chemotherapy strategies that the stem-cell transplant attempts to reverse; a donor's healthy bone marrow reintroduces functional stem cells to replace the cells lost in the host's body during treatment. The transplanted cells also generate an immune response that helps to kill off the cancer cells; this process can go too far, however, leading to graft vs host disease, the most serious side effect of this treatment.[4]

Another stem-cell therapy called Prochymal, was conditionally approved in Canada in 2012 for the management of acute graft-vs-host disease in children who are unresponsive to steroids.[5] It is an allogenic stem therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the bone marrow of adult donors. MSCs are purified from the marrow, cultured and packaged, with up to 10,000 doses derived from a single donor. The doses are stored frozen until needed.[6]

The FDA has approved five hematopoietic stem-cell products derived from umbilical cord blood, for the treatment of blood and immunological diseases.[7]

In 2014, the European Medicines Agency recommended approval of Holoclar, a treatment involving stem cells, for use in the European Union. Holoclar is used for people with severe limbal stem cell deficiency due to burns in the eye

Answer 8

If it's from another person

Then again that isn't accurate because

Answer 9

We can get a transplant from our family members

Answer 10

"Why might generating organs using cell therapies"

"Because stem-cell therapies "

....

Answer 11

okay , thank you everyone.

Answer 12

Long delays associated with the search for organ donors
Large payments to secure a bone marrow donor
Possibility that the organ may be rejected


these are all things associated with an organ transplant. Not stem cell grown organs.
