Because of chernobyl I was born 2 months to early.
I had luck on the same day there where children born with 3 hands or other deformation.

Radiation is bad and is especially bad for small children and unborn children, but it can produce only certain types of deformations. The number of hands in a baby is fixed after the 4th week after fertilization. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development )
I also found this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=2021142
> Most cases of multiple limbs result from conjoined twins forming in development. One child does not survive and becomes essentially absorbed into the other, said Dr. Russell Jennings at the Children's Hospital in Boston.
A little bit more about me: I was born in August 1986 in Grudziądz, Poland. I was 2 months to early.
I had to be revived 3 times after i was born. usually they tried only twice. I was told that by a Nurse who begged the Doctor to try it once more. I know all that because years later I thanked her with flowers. She and my mum told me some stories. They dont have a source or article about that. They are just stories.
there were more miscarriage then normal since April 1986. She told me that some children were horrible deformed and that she was happy for every child they could save.
I really hope that's just some morbid humor.
So, should financial support be withdrawn for Chernobyl cleanup / support?
One of the conclusions of the WHO report on the consequences of Chernobyl, published in 2005, is that:
"Most emergency workers and people living in contaminated areas received relatively low whole body radiation doses, comparable to natural background levels. As a consequence, no evidence or likelihood of decreased fertility among the affected population has been found, nor has there been any evidence of increases in congenital malformations that can be attributed to radiation exposure.
