Reverse progeria...?

Still- looking at her I have a feeling she will not live a full human life in years.

I wonder who's footing the bill for this little science experiment.

That is crazy! However, stories like these are sometimes a bit misleading when it comes to sensational things such as a potential fountain of youth.

Either way I hope we can learn a great deal about the aging process from this little girl and hopefully find a way to allow her to one day develop fully into an adult.

Very weird. Will be interesting to see how she ages far later down the line. If she'll still stay an infant, or if she'll finally start to grow. How old she'll be when she does die... just.... weird.

"Everyone's here for a reason. Maybe that's why Brooke is here."

Lovely.

Wow, how rough for the parents, I will be interested to see her story on 20/20.

I agree with Daniel Kim. Can we do this to puppies? ^_^

The article sez that she has the mental capacity of an infant. This is an extremely severe disability, obviously, but strangely manageable. She is basically a baby that never grows up.

This whole "not ageing" thing is a total crock. There is a certain age when our cells start to degenerate (age). If they can prove that this individual will live longer than what is normal, I will pay attention. But otherwise, stop with the dumb speculation. We all grow old, and we all die.

The first 6 months of a baby's life seem infinitely long - maybe mom is just so sleep deprived she forgot when the baby was actually born?

At the risk of being very insensitive, I'd be interested to know if this could be used to keep kittens from growing up into cats.

Very odd. How she healed a brain tumor an everything. I can see why medical scientists would be going crazy about this. I wonder what her lifespan will be, compared to most people.

I am assuming her brain has not developed, cos if it had, that would suck.
