There is a man without arms (thalidomide victim) who runs a ferry service across the river Thames near my building. Just motor dinghy for people who are out walking and don't want to walk to the next bridge. It's amazing to see how he manages the boat entirely without normal arms. He's got some kind of hands attached to little stubs coming off his shoulders. As far as I know, all thalidomide victims in Europe got some form of settlements and don't really have to work much. But he does hard physical labour almost every day in the summer.
