Brooke “Button”?

[bgill]

I really doubt she’s the fountain of youth and that her organs aren’t aging. Some switch turned off at 16 months somewhere in her growth and mental functions but not aging.

I wish I could be 23 forever.

And if I could go back to highschool, oh BABY! Knowing what I know now, those cheerleaders wouldn't be laughing at me today!

[fortunate sun]

it appears to be the opposite of that condition that causes people to age at an accelerated rate.

Brooke goes to a Baltimore County public school, Ridge Ruxton, dedicated to special education. Based on her age, she would be a junior in high school. Jewel Adiele, one of Brooke's teachers, said she wonders sometimes what Brooke is thinking or perceiving.

"We love her just the way she is," Melanie Greenberg said. "We don't want to change her."

Many will say I am cruel and don’t understand, but I think that is an incredibly selfish thing to say.

I want my kids to grow up and be adults. I want them to be independent, to pay taxes and hate it every time they look at their pay check and tax return.

If this child truly is an example of arrested aging this child will out live her parents and her siblings and perhaps her siblings’ children.

This child will always be a constant burden to her family. She may be a joy to her family today but when her parents die will her sisters want to pick up that burden when they have families of their own?

Will this child end up a ward of the state? Who knows?

These parents find their perennial baby a joy today but when they are in their 90’s I think they will be worrying about her future and wondering what will become of her when they are gone. .

I think this is one of the sadist stories I have read in a very long time. I grieve for these people.

Maybe immortality can be found once this person's biological makeup is assayed.

At about 16 pounds and 30 inches, 16-year-old Brooke Greenberg has not aged significantly, physically or apparently cognitively, since she was a toddler. Doctors hope that her case could shed light on the mysterious genetics behind aging. (Courtesy Greenberg Family)
