The British government will have to pay damages ranging from £3500 to
£300 000 to six people who are at risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease as a result of treatment with human growth hormone. The High Court ruled
last week that the six, aged between 25 and 36, were suffering psychiatric
illness due to the threat of developing the fatal dementia.
