Thalidomide Victims Seek Greater Compensation
Fifty years ago a German pharmaceutical company launched a medicine for pregnant women with morning sickness. The drug was called Thalidomide – a name that has since become synonymous with medical disaster.The drug caused the deaths of an estimated 100,000 babies in the womb; 10,000 were born with serious and, in many cases, severe deformities.The scandal rocked the world of medicine and led to major reforms in drug safety testing and licensing. But fifty years on, many of the surviving victims live difficult and impoverished lives.
A campaign has been launched against the pharmaceutical company and the German government for greater compensation for the so-called "thalidomiders."

hc看天主教字典
「practicing catholic：熱心教（信）友；虔誠教友：指忠實履行信仰義務之教友。」
很驚訝。因為以前以為它指某些專業等的執業，practicing architect：執業建築師。（現在不知道有無 practicing blogger. 說法？）

小讀者：「practice 用在宗教倒是常見的，其實談不上「熱心」或「虔誠」與否。
只是與掛名相對照，指有上教堂，行此禮，遵其儀等等的行為。
這等意義之下的practice對象，包括 custom, craft, religion
或可以譯為「（實際）遵行」或「遵奉」即可。」
