Chernobyl Children Show DNA Change

I agree that just because the effects are happening now does not mean it will not affect the future. If there are DNA changes occurring in the current generation only means the more likely it will affect later generations through their parent's genes, and not just fade away into obscurity. Even very low doses of radiation can still make changes in a person's DNA. When a child is still inside of it's mother it is especially vulnerable to the harms of radiation because it is still developing. Many of the children that were effected from this radiation had a parent, or parents, that were liquidators. “Liquidators” were people who helped clean up the aftermath of Chernobyl. These children were exposed to it much more then other children through their parents. Their parents were not effected as strongly because they were fully developed at the time and their bodies could handle the radiation.
