The cases mentioned of 3rd generation damage (cerebral palsy en 'a rare form of cancer' 'being linked to des exposure' are completely spurious; if millions of people have been exposed many rare to very rare things will happen in many offspring without any causal link. I move to strike these examples or at least include a modifier such as 'some people have seen this as linked to' and not make statements about such cases unless there is credible evidence that it is not coincidental - with a reference to the relevant scientific article evanherk

→There have been studies linking DES to transgenderism in kids born from mothers that had DES prescribed. I'm surprised nothing has been mentioned on the subject. If I can find the actual studies (I just read about them in "The Riddle of Gender" by Deborah Rudacille), I'll add to the page and link them. Of course, if anyone beats me to it, I won't cry about stealing my thunder.Jediryan22 20:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
