[SIZE=-1]A court in France has found six health officials not guilty in the deaths of more than 100 young people who were infected with a brain wasting disease after they were injected with growth hormones in the 1980s.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The doctors and pharmacists were charged with "serious negligence," and accused of ignoring safety rules by injecting tainted hormones taken from the pituitary glands of human cadavers.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The corpses were in wards specializing in infectious diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or CJD, which is always fatal. People can contract one variant of CJD from cows affected by BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The verdict came after a 16-year investigation. Most of the defendants are now in their 70s and 80s.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]All of the defendants worked at either the Pasteur Institute or the France-Hypophyse association, which collected the glands containing growth hormone from human cadavers. The program ended in 1988.[/SIZE]
