I am familiar with that tragedy. It was given to women who were bleeding early in a pregnancy to help them from not miscarrying.
Sometimes drugs have awful side effects. But thank God you are here and you wouldn't have been without that awful drug. And before it was discovered that it caused the girl babies to have a high risk for cervical cancer it was given to many women.
I still say that prescription drugs overall save many more lives than they destroy.
Thank you for telling us this, Asian three.
