Continuing today's theme of strange scientific stuff is this story about a 16 year old girl who hasn't aged since she was an infant. Although it sounds like the kind of thing you'd see on the cover of a supermarket tabloid, this report comes from (slightly more reputable) ABC News.
If you still don't believe it, there's going to be an TLC Documentary about her on August 2; and Friday night's 20/20 will feature a story on her as well.
She's certainly an odd case, and possibly the solution to human immortality. But if the cost of living a lot longer is being a toddler for life and having to go everywhere in a stroller, I'm not sure I'd be on board with that. Then again, she's never had to work a day in her life.....so maybe.
This girl is a medical freak in more ways than one.
She's 16 years old, but only 30 inches tall and weighs only 16 pounds. When she was very young, she survived 7 stomach ulcers, a massive stroke that left no damage at all, then developed a tumor that caused her to sleep for 14 days in a row (I'd call that a coma), but then she woke up and the tumor was gone.
I'm not exactly sure what to think about this.....but wow.
