I saw the pictures that were on the station's website before it expired--she does look like a normal baby.
No, not you. Just all the posters who are saying such ludicrous things like "Keep her out of Florida" and keep her away from yada yada. Just seems ridiculous.
I actually have heard of someone with this disorder in Minnesota. My aunt's best friend refuses to speak of her son's condition, but he is between 6-9 years old and is still a baby. He weighs as much as a newborn, doesn't speak, and still needs to be fully treated as an infant. If anyone does find a diagnosis, I would like to know what it is. I always figured it was the opposite of progeria.
Like it or not, Michael Schiavo's "victory" made Terri a martyr. If she were still living, she would not be the ubiquitous presence that she is--and would probably be forgotten. The circumstances surrounding her death have insured her name will be invoked often. People who loved Terri just the way she was, wanted desperately for her to live.
Whether people post about her or not, I think of her, in almost every case where "quality of life" is an issue. And apparently, I'm not alone.
A topic from 2005. Just stumbled across something off-site, and searched here to find this.
Martin, you've seen this (at the time), but could it be Genetic Genealogy pingworthy?
