Hi guys,
I know that many have seen pictures of "mutant" babies online (since you won't see them in mainstream media). But have you ever seen "one" in person? I have. It was something to behold and all I could think was...is this the future for our children? There was a stroller at the post office and of course when the average woman sees a carriage or stroller you, get nosey and want to peek at the "little bundle of joy"." Well on this day, there was a normal child about 10 or 11 standing in the front of the stroller. So I went over and said to him, " Oh is this your brother or sister?" Then I looked into the stroller and to my surprise was a baby that resembled an infant that I had seen in a photo of effects from d.u. in Iraq. He had a severely deformed head (strange curvature of the skull and very big, plus was it a single eye or strangely spaced eyes--not of this world. Of course, I went agahast. This was NJ, not Iraq. As I looked at the normal child I thought, "are they Iraqi?" They had that kind of ethnic look. I then asked the boy where they were from and he told me that they were from Puerto Rico. I proceeded to cringe as I remembered all of the nuclear testing that went on that island outside of P.R. (Vieques) where all of the protests were going on in the late '90's and earlly 2000's. The sad thing about radiation defects is that once they appear in the genome they will hang around for many generations. All I could think was, "This poor baby seemed sweet natured, but was born monster-like and will have to be in his poor deformed little body for the rest of his life. How many more will follow? I agree that it is a very dangerous time to bring children into this world. But I also believe that not everyone will encounter children like this or have children like this in the near future-- one hundred years from today is a different question, though. Maybe in exchange for their physical looks, they'll have greater heart and consciuosness, one can hope.

Hi Pam,
Thanks for sharing that. How very sad for these kids... Those are brave parents to have adopted that child! I personally know a man who is a Thalidomide baby. He's missing one arm, otherwise healthy. He says it's made him a stronger person, and I can see that in him. Others not so strong might succumb to the stigma and social pressures. Being more on the sensitive side, I don't know how I would fare...
