Funding for Stem Cell Research is very limited. There are a lot of misconceptions concerning Stem Cell Research that make people not want to fund it.
The following is a video from John Hopkins Medicine
concerning the ethical questions about Stem Cell Research.
Stem Cell Research is very expensive
"American clinics charge approximately $10,000 per treatment. Notably, many patients get [sic] more than one of these non-FDA approved treatments and must pay each time of course" (How Much Do Stem Cell Treatments Really Cost?).
"Some clinics have reduced prices to the $7,000-$8,000 range. Interestingly, costs for treatments outside of the US are usually far higher than in the US, charging anywhere from $20,000 all the way up to $100,000. These clinics still generally have Americans as clientele. Whether inside or outside the US, insurance does not cover the costs of these potentially dangerous, unproven treatments" (How Much Do Stem Cell Treatments Really Cost?).
The cost of the research in 2016 was $1.495 billion ((CEO), Cade Hildreth).
