Is she the world's first immortal human? I doubt it. It's more likely that her 'grow up' mechanism failed, but that the normal cellular disruptions that are associated with the ravages of time will continue apace.

Wow, almost the opposite of that aging syndrome - where children AGE very, very fast and die at about that time from it.

Weird. No doubt this story will be on Good Morning America next week.

Just let someone try to deny this brave girl the right to have food and water.... Sad to say that some would want to starve/thirst her to death....maybe even some here at FR. And then you got the ones that worry about what this is costing....shameful. Anyway, prayers for that little girl and her family. May God give them strength.

That's what I was thinking. If there were a way to "freeze" someone at 25-35....
And this does sound like the opposite of progeria. I have never forgotten that 20 year old woman who looked 80. I believe she set the survival record.
That poor kid. And how devastating this must have been for her parents, not least because (unlike progeria, or Downs , or autism, etc) there would be no resources-no support groups-no answers for them. :-(

It's amazing what types of diseases and syndromes there are out there. Not long ago there was a show on about kids that age too fast - they are 7 & 8 years old but look 90 and they usually die by the time they are 13.
To: LibWhacker
Methinks that perhaps this beautiful, remarkable child may hold the secret of perpetual youth in her genetic code. Just a private thought. Perhaps medical scientists ought to be asking more profound questions here.

This sounds like one of those Weekly World News articles. Yeah, I had to double-check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. God bless her.

I for one am 'deeply saddened' that every thread about anything medical is now a Terri thread by proxy.

25? na, the brain isn't fully developed at 25, Maybe at around 45 when a little more wisdom is gained and that socialist Marxism phaze passes.

That's the understatement of the year. And don't dare say it on a Crevo thread! 8^>

Someone had to say it, thank you.
