Iraq is barred from importing even the most basic medicine and medical supplies. Antibiotics and infant vaccinations are denied because American and British officials worry that such drugs will be used to create chemical weapons.

To repair torn nerves in eight-month-old Rodrigo Cervantes Corona's left shoulder and arm, doctors took 3 ft. of neural tissue from his mother's legs and tracked it from the right side of his body to his left hand. The transplanted nerves will act as a conduit to allow the baby's undamaged right-hand nerves to grow over to his left side. The mother will feel a bit of numbness on each side of her feet...
