A very sad and worrying time for Brooker& her family, however reading the article further in New Idea I got very very angry, her doctor 'stated 'this is your worst nightmare you might be carrying a dwarf" what a disgusting insult this is to anyone born a dwarf or who gave birth to a dwarf, can anyone explain how being a dwarf is 'your worst nightmare"
