Seven French medics have gone on trial in Paris, France, for supposedly breeding CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease), the human form of Mad Cow Disease, into over 100 children. Why they did this, I would not know. Apparently, in the 1980's, the extraction of hormones from the putuitary glands (glands that are pea-sized and located at the base of the brain) has been banned in 14 countries, but the French defence lawyers of said medics argue that they were only going along with the French medical conventions that they were taught.
Do you feel that these medics should go to jail for practicing what was taught as appropriate medical conventions?

Of course they shouldn't. That would be similar to saying doctors in the middle ages that bled people should have been tried. It was accepted medical practice.
