Charon,
Thalidomide is a classic example of unintended consequences. And for those that know about thalidomide and it's cousins is that it is still being given my doctors in the US today. Of course they don't prescribe it under the same circumstances and for the same patient population, but rather....those with multiple myeloma and other malignancies.
I find this knowledge to be interesting and at the same time repulsive. It's almost as if they tried to find SOME use for it to make up for the big F up decades ago. Eck.
