Children with deformations are born every day.

  I feel like you're looping the conversation, since that sentiment was expressed and dismissed in the article. So, should financial support be withdrawn for Chernobyl cleanup / support?

    Funny, are the officials lying when they say that none of the malformations are connected to Chernobyl, or when, for fear of losing the stream of money coming from charities, they say the opposite? One of the conclusions of the WHO report on the consequences of Chernobyl, published in 2005, is that: "Most emergency workers and people living in contaminated areas received relatively low whole body radiation doses, comparable to natural background levels. As a consequence, no evidence or likelihood of decreased fertility among the affected population has been found, nor has there been any evidence of increases in congenital malformations that can be attributed to radiation exposure.

Do you have a link to an article about the children with three hands? It's an unusual deformation in newborns, but I think it's not related to radiation. Radiation is bad and is especially bad for small children and unborn children, but it can produce only certain types of deformations. The number of hands in a baby is fixed after the 4th week after fertilization. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development ) I also found this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2021142 http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2021142 > Most cases of multiple limbs result from conjoined twins forming in development. One child does not survive and becomes essentially absorbed into the other, said Dr. Russell Jennings at the Children's Hospital in Boston.

  no that's what i was told. A little bit more about me: I was born in August 1986 in Grudziądz, Poland. I was 2 months to early. I had to be revived 3 times after i was born. usually they tried only twice. I was told that by a Nurse who begged the Doctor to try it once more. I know all that because years later I thanked her with flowers. She and my mum told me some stories. They dont have a source or article about that. They are just stories. there were more miscarriage then normal since April 1986. She told me that some children were horrible deformed and that she was happy for every child they could save.
