     Thalidomide, 13 10 2 4, is a drug that was originally used in 1957 to help relieve pregnant women of morning sickness. But, thousands of women in 46 different countries around the world started having babies with birth defects after taking Thalidomide. At first, nobody was able to directly connect Thalidomide to the birth defects. Although, in 1960, tests by scientists proved that this drug was the cause. Then, in 1962, Thalidomide was banned worldwide.[1]
