@60minutes9: This week, Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese delivered a national apology to thalidomide survivors. Terry Wiles is one of the 3,000 who survived thalidomide, the devastating drug that affected 10,000 babies worldwide. The popular sedative, used to treat nausea in pregnant women in the late 1950s, resulted in severe defects in their offspring. But those like Terry, who was featured in this 60 Minutes story from 1990, proved how one can live an exceptional life - with or without their disability. #thalidomide #thalidomidedisaster
