It has many of the same risks as cannibalism - there are lots of unknown viruses and proteins that normally don't get transferred from person to person, but could cause harm, and if you start distributing them widely, you're gonna have problems.

Viruses and prions are so small it's pretty much impossible to be sure you have removed them all from some sample.

Sure you can remove most, but you'll never get all of them.
