Jus in case you are guessing this person’s age don’t be shocked to know that this kid will hardly be a teenager and that he is suffering from progeria.

The kid in the photo almost brought tears in my eyes. I was unaware of such a prominent fact(No calling names like disease. It hurts). Though many believe it was amitabh dressed as a progeria kid what matters to me is the pain of the kid. I was in a shocked state and so immediately i started browsing and found some traumatizing facts about this disease. Here are some details about this:

Progeria is also known as “Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome” and “Hutchinson–Gilford syndrome” is an extremely rare, severe, genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging that are manifested at an early age. Though the number of cases worldwide has been 40 plus but lesser than 50, I found a family wherein 3 out 7 members in the family had progeria. The origin of this disease is Bihar. The children age at a fast pace. I have shown here the photo 3 kids of the same family who are suffering from progeria. Look at the kids smiling in that photo. It gives immense pleasure in seeing it but at the same time it makes me think what is happening here god? Why these small babies! 🙁

Well,wanted to cover some more details about Progeria. Mainly the symptoms:
As the child ages past infancy, additional conditions become apparent. Limited growth, alopecia, and a distinctive appearance (small face and jaw, pinched nose) are all characteristic of progeria. People diagnosed with this disease usually have small, fragile bodies, like those of elderly people. They tend to develop cardio problems also.
