It is rude to call a person by any other name than their given name.
However, since you ask, just keep this as a knowledge. Put it in a corner of your brain:
They are Phthalamide babies, in otherwords, a form of Teriphthalicacid were used for some form of birthcontrol. Later, it was found that it causes birth defects and it was stopped completely.
It is a birth defect. They are no less of a person or not any less in intelligence than any other human being. They are - just "PERSONS".

Amelia is the birth defect of lacking one or more limbs. It can also result in a shrunken or deformed limb.
As far as I know, there is not a more specific medical name.

I would start with calling them by their given name.
any missing extremity at birth, is called a birth defect.
