Well, my difficulty is that I really have trouble...and I think this is what we all feel: if someone has severe limb reduction deformities—no arms, no legs—and it's due to a genetic cause, what do we do? Do they not get compensation?
I think what we're doing is really trying to find out whether thalidomide caused this rather than thinking about their disabilities. That's a political and social problem, not a scientific one. I've tried to give you a scientific causal view about it. We would, for example, rule out your two witnesses today. I have every sympathy for them, but they would not pass the test, because they don't have more than a fifty-fifty chance of being able to prove their exposure, and their disabilities, I think, could be much more likely to be due to things other than thalidomide exposure.
