Strong girl invalid
Courtney was born in Sarnia, Ontario, August 18, 1984. Her right hand ends at the waist, and the left - just after the elbow. It has one full leg, and left only on the second thigh. To walk it uses a prosthesis. Even for making complex tasks she uses only "bumps" in the hands of endings. During the first 9 months of pregnancy, the mother of Courtney every day went outside Sarnia - the most polluted places in Canada. Shortly after the birth of Kourtney three independent geneticists concluded that the high level of pollution in the city affected Courtney defects at birth.
