What really gets me is that not even ordinary autoclaving can destroy the CJD prions. Those things are fucking terrifying. Look at sterilization recommendations for surgical instruments that have been exposed to them. The first recommendation is "destroy them." The second is, "if you simply must reuse them, boil them in lye in an autoclave for an hour."

They're largely not based on actual studies on contaminated surgical implements.
