This looks like either a hoax that many people are in on, or else this is a unique medical condition she suffers from. She's 12 years old, is in the "body" of a 2 year old, but that body has MAJOR health issues.

This is from a normal news source, BTW.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

I couldn't access it through that link either. Try this one. It's gotta be the same kid.

Here's a portion:

quote:
BALTIMORE -- Imagine being frozen in time as a baby forever. It sounds impossible, but it describes Brooke Greenberg.

The Baltimore-area girl may look like a baby, but she's nearly a teenager. In most respects, Brooke looks and acts like your average 6-month-old baby -- she weighs 13 pounds and she is 27 inches long.

Brooke doesn't age. Her syndrome remains undiagnosed and unnamed, and as far as doctors can tell, she is the only one in the world who has it.



Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do on a rainy afternoon.

I will say that the comments section at the link Wendy posted is amusing.

genome claptrap indeed.... bufoons.


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

Here's the same story with a photo.

"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."

"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Go to this Google search and then to Pittsberg Channel.com "cached" for the original link. I couldn't make a hyperlink there for some reason. The images in the cached link don't work either, just the subtititles.
