For Everyone...

I'd like to spread the word about a Genetic Disease called Progeria. It effects 1 in 8 million children around the world. So basically, the facts are that there are somewhere around 35-40 children that suffer from this rare but fatal disease. Now, I'm sure a lot of you have seen the movie Jack starring Robin Williams. I'm guessing he had this ( Read more... )

Since this is a 2 year old entry...

But since I just rewatched the "Dark Angel" series and you mentioned progeria, I thought I'd mention the connection. In the TV show, progeria affected several members of the X series soldiers, including escaped X5 Brynn and the X7 version of Max...

And yes, I'm random journaling, so enjoy the randomness :D

you do realize that progeria is a disease that children get. If an older person gets something similar, it has another name (i forget at the moment). :-)

Actually I didn't know that. Learn something knew every day. And if it wasn't so late and nearly my bedtime I'd be searching the internet to find out what.

And I meant to say it was a progeria like disease in Dark Angel. They specifically mention its something similar, but not.
