Loving care for the disabled? Don't let the ACLU or some judge get wind of this-they'll be shrieking for her blood.

Very strange, especially that it supposedly has never been seen before. I often assume medical science knows almost everything these days and that if something can't be cured, it most certainly can at least be identified. I guess there is always a lot to learn.

Sounds like whatever she has (obviously some kind of genetic disorder) causes a lot of other health problems. It is possible that others who have had it have died at a younger age and the condition was diagnosed as something else.

Is she the world's first immortal human? If so that would be the opposite of progeria. Curious and no wonder researchers are trying to divine her secrets. Imagine discovering the Fountain Of Youth where Ponce De Leon failed.

Just let someone try to deny this brave girl the right to have food and water....

And don't let the Hollywood elite know either. They will want to dissect her to figure out why she doesn't age...and how they can do the same.

Wow. This sounds like one of those Weekly World News articles. I never thought such a condition actually existed.
To: LibWhacker
If she could discover what causes this, and bottle it, she will be the world's first zillionare.
At the age of 21, everyone would quaff a bottle of this stuff.

The parents are lucky DSS hasn't locked them up because the kid isn't "thriving"
Pakula said Brooke has thrived because of the support of her parents and three sisters.
Interesting story, good for the parents!

What a delightful truth coming from a member of the medical profession. How refreshing!
To: goldstategop
I doubt it since she has so many other health problems. It's a sad story but perhaps something can be learned from it.

Is she the world's first immortal human?Well, if she is destined to age very slowly, imagine the financial portfolio she can build as compound interest works its magic over a 5,000 year period!

Would be neat to fully understand this mechanism and be able to trigger it without the negatives at say 25.
