For those of us born around the time of this, you tend to think "there, but for the grace of God." The deformities of babies born as a result of thalidomide is known to most of us I should think. As one sufferer says in this report, these unfortunate people all need medical care that costs, so rather than finally apologising, what about getting round the table and discussing some form of compensation?

The statue is also hideous, why waste money on that when people are still feeling the effects of this tragedy 50 years later?
I believe the inscription translates as "In Rememberance of the Dead and Living of the Contergan (Thalidomide) catastrophe".
