There is such a rare and terrible disease Progeria -
premature aging
at an early age.
One
gene mutates and affects the whole organism. Those born with progeria
typically live about thirteen years, although many have been known to
live into their late teens and early twenties and rare individuals may
even reach their forties.
The disorder has a
very low incidence and occurs in one per eight million live births.
Here’s Leon Botha, a guy
who has progeria and who’s already 24 years old.
No one knows how many
years he will live.
It’s
not funny, but he really has this alien look…
