This may seem odd but I'm looking for books (or websites) that have pictures (photographs or drawings) of birth defects or mutations caused by radiation (i.e. from Tschernobyl).

There's that museum in Washington which I can't remember the name of that might have a website. Not specifically from Chernobyl but mutations and defects.

That's about as much help as I can be.

I have a book called Craniofacial Malformations, which is full of deformities. It was extremely expensive ($200) and I bought it over 10 years ago. It may be out of print. Check for a local medical bookstore.

I've been there! Definitely worth a visit. My friends just kinda zipped through the Museum and were a bit pissed that I took my own sweet time...

For the life of me I cannot remember it but I have been there on a school trip.
They have all kinds of stuff like deformed babies in jars and the like. Some stuff that stood out was the penis and vagina in jars and also a leg with elephantitis floating in a large glass vase.

I went to the Mutter Museum for my wedding anniversary.

The Dutchess and I enjoyed it very much, but it was a hell of a lot smaller than I expected.

It was filled with cool stuff, very cringe inducing.

That place made me interested in getting vintage surgical equipment. But no way am I going to pay an arm and a leg for it...(pun intended).

go to ogrish.com and scroll thru the image list.. There are at least 30 worthwhile pictures on there from the past several months. You just need to read the subject headlines to see which are the birth defect pics..
