In the present work we studied the incidence of fetal deaths among
conceptions whose fathers or both parents were survivors of chemical
warfare attacks by Iraq. We showed that there was significant correlation
between frequency of fetal deaths among conceptions which eventuated
after exposure of the parents to gas bombs compared to the frequency of fetal
deaths among the control group. This work shows that some lethal mutations
probably result from the chemical warfare agents.
