Pulitzer finalist David Guttenfelder documents Vietnamese kids' deformities.
Legacy of Agent Orange
Five-year-old girl Tran Huynh Thuong Sinh, who
was born without eyes in the Binh Dinh province
of Vietnam, is fed breakfast by a nurse at the
"Peace Village" center at Tu Du hospital in Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam, May 25, 2007. Officials at the hospital suspect
that the dioxin in Agent Orange blocks the
receptors in a developing fetus, preventing the
hormones that would normally instruct the cells to form eyes from doing so. (David Guttenfelder/AP Photo)
