Real Life 'Benjamin Button' Children with Rare Aging Disease Undergo Tests in India

  • 8 years ago
This beautiful young girl is just seven years old. She and her 18-month-old brother have been diagnosed with Progeria, a rare degenerative disease which causes them not only to appear prematurely aged, but also to feel old beyond their years. Like a scene straight out of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the young pair suffers from pain in their joints, swollen faces, and wrinkled skin, all while playing with their toys and learning to read.
