To recover
You could comment how Thalidomide was in fact a very effective drug but sadly released as a mixed isomer form when in fact it was only one isomer that was harmful (I believe R was safe and the S isomer harmful causing birth defects) thus heightening the tragedy of it all.
I'm afraid it can. I've been doing a little digging.
A similar thing happens with ibuprofen. The non-active isomer gets converted (by an enzyme) to the active one (not the other way around, fortunately - otherwise it would be useless).
In the case of thalidomide, both isomers are active : one isomer suppresses morning sickness, the other causes birth defects. Unfortunately, the beneficial isomer can be converted in your body to the harmful one, although I'm not sure if the conversion can go the other way.

First I had to check the comments for the inevitable de-RIS.
Then I had to check the file name. Then I had to wiki thalidomide. Then I stared for a long time until I realised that the crosses had slightly shorter cross beams... tumble weed ensued.
My fault though for being thick.

I persevered and didn't have to look at file name or anything. Good stuff.

...but this is truly awesome. I often have thoughts like this run through my head. Like: what if the chosen execution method at the time had been lethal injection? Millions of christians praying to a giant needle...?
