Doctors Baffled, Intrigued by Girl Who Doesn't Age

[LittleMissLuckyCunt (1)]

I heard about this story a couple weeks ago. This girl is 16 and shes the size of a toddler and hasn't grown up. She has 3 sisters, one which is only a couple years younger then her. I was very intrigued by this. Thoughts?

The videos kind of long, but its worth watching

It sucks that she has no vocabulary at all... That would be a strange life. I wonder how old she'll age to?

That's sad but rather interesting.

i had a friend in high school, who, after death was placed on TLC in na show about these types of astonishing "physical or mental" effects. He was older than me, senior while I was a sophmore and he stood no more than 2.5 feet tall. He had to wear toddler clothes as well, but he had no other physical set backs. He even wore chains on his jeans as to say "I'm no different than you'. Marilyn Manson found him and placed him in the Tourniquet video. Kevin even had facial hair. Unfortunately, he died just after high school.

I met him by tripping over him walking from one building on campus to the next, and all he did was say "its cool man, would have been better if you were wearing a skirt."

Speaking of being thoughtless ... I need to find a girl who ages until she's 16, and then stops.

(And by "I", I mean my future wife and I. We could use a pet.)

Wow. Man that's gotta suck. How does one manage like that?

In the video they say that she only has the mental capacity of a 9 month old. The whole thing is really fucked up though, they said her bones are that of around a 10 year old, I wonder how long she'll actually live for...

TLC had a show on primordial dwarfism, perhaps this is what this girl has?

Doctors think her body is out of sinc, meaning its not working together, like ours, but its working seperetly, she hasn't gone threw puberty, she has looked the same since she was 2, and her brain has not grown at all. Its really weird, they're trying to find out the gene and test it on rats and see if it slows down the aging in rats, if it does, she could possibly hold the key to ageing.

Its a sad story, but it might hold the answers to some things. Remember, every one on this planet is here for a reason .

this is precisely why i'm interested to see what they can learn from this.
