No, that's no plausible. But still, there's some interesting science going on here. I just wish this was on the discovery channel instead of ABC so they could actually explain it.
Its amazing to think about diseases in general. Why would evolution and natural selection pick a system of reproduction (DNA) that causes disease? Eh.....too deep.
i can't believe he said if they found a cure for her that they wouldn't use it. that's awefully selfish what's going to happen when they can't take care of her. it's very interesting tho.
An amazing story. Though the doctor implying that they are using this child to somehow find the "fountain of youth" is really unnecessary and should not have been provoked by the interviewer.
"Turning off" this gene could keep people from developing but at the same time it could just as well keep us from healing and even learning. In my opinion it's something not to be tampered with.
But I'm way off subject here, it's a crazy story indeed. Anything is possible in this world I suppose.
Wow... Im just really sad! even if they found a cure it would be 16 years... and she would barely develop as if she was a baby. Besides I THINK she might not grow that much since she'll go to 18 years of age so the growing will stop

Genetic mutations are common. Though, almost all mutations are fatal, some do provide some sort of genetic superiority over others in one way or another. Unfortunately, not in this case
