I use to go to school with a girl who appeared to stay about 10 years old. Though this is nothing like this girl in the story above.

All it does explain is that her structure is remaining that of a child, while she still "ages" in the time sense. For all we know, she will remain in that state until she dies in the average age. However, if she gets much older and then grows out of the infant state, then I'll take back what I said

strange because i just read an article on aging X)

you age because of your immune system's quick response to diseases 'n bacterium. inflammation. over decades this causes great collateral damage. So what saves you in the short run kills you in the long.

they're testing to see whether things that reduce inflammation such as aspirin increases your life. this isn't the 'immortality pill' though.


also from aloooong time ago on science channel I remember seeing that wrinkles are caused from mitochonrian and/or protein deposits caving.

could be appearance?

There is no such thing as someone who doesn't age. You can have a certain syndrome that will cause you to stay the same appearance, but not the same age.

Wow.

Surprisingly, this seems unimportant to my life.

But, i guess it's semi interesting.

The dads a moron though.

That's crazy, I never seen anything like this before.

Now, it's terrible that she's mentally not a 16 year old, however, picture yourself in that body. With your mind set and what you know now. I think it would be pretty interesting to fool people. Heck, maybe even join the FBI and go under cover posing as an infant, but really... you're a 16 year old FBI agent.

I've been watching too many movies. Forgive me. =P

There is even the opposite problem; there was a girl in Italy that aged a lot faster - 2 years and she seemed 80, only little -.
That is the way of evolution: if the random mutation proves useful, it will be passed toward future generations, if not, well...

That's physically impossible. Here body would have the mass generated to obstain her.

Mutations aren't passed on to future generations. They are rather left on their own. A gene has to have a dominate trait to be passed on. A mutation is a passive gene, thus it is left behind.

Mutations that aid survival are passed on because they are the dominate genes in the animal that survived.

I watched a movie about that, and some other genetic mutations in biology. it was very strange.

A mutation is a change in the original genetics of an anomaly. They do not help the species except in certain situtions. Even when they do help the species, the gene is still passive. Dominant genes are always dominant and passive are always passive.
