I just realized this...after reading a news article just now about Stephen Hawking that is his 70th birthday today (he can't come to his celebration sadly because he is too ill right now), I realize that Brooke Greenberg and Stephen Hawking have the same birthday. He is exactly, to the very day, 51 years older than Brooke, since she turned 19 today also. Hawking's birthday is January 8th 1942. Found that out on wikipedia. I didn't know both of them had the same birthday!! - Preston
Happy 19th birthday Brooke!! I hope you have a great birthday today and many more to come!! You're growing every year, and I really think you are one of a kind and have a lot of courage and stamina after all you have been through. You certainly have a wonderful personality and have a lot of character traits that I wish other people could have - your kindness, love, and warmth. You have shown the world how wonderful you are.
@farah2619 Are you a freaking troll or what?? Brooke needs to move out and live independently? Are you kidding me? Even most NORMAL 19 year olds wouldn't be
capable of doing that, and Brooke has a disability. I'm 35 and with my Autism, I'm
still living with my parents. Where would Brooke move to?? Who would take care of her?? Whatever you are, I would hate to be you because you have no empathy whatsoever - in fact, you're the one who is disabled, not Brooke. Twat.
@geowhizkid26 you class that comment as trolling, you must be really dumb and stupid to get offender from that, LOL. Somebody doesn't know what sarcasm is.
What makes me angry is they stick her in that baby swing, and she looks like she's very angry. I mean they should have at least taught her sign language so she can communicate with her family.
@Sheri451 if u actually listened they state her brain has not developed past that of a recently born infant meaning comprehension of communication is VERY limited
@dark12794 I understand that, I was just saying that she looks like she can understand things a little, I thought maybe they could teach her sign language You can teach a baby the signs for eat and drink.
I've heard about a similar case, a girl is now 15 years, and looks like 5-6 years, while the small body except that there seems to be in first class, she has her mind as peers.
She has madea visit to a hospital in Switzerland and they have given some injections that she must take for 4 years in a row for each day.
Girl, for which I'm talking about is from Kosovo, hospital and government Swiss
shall pay all expenses.
So you and your family You must not lose all hope.
Your comment: "She could be the fountain of youth too, if she or someone she knows can discover what makes her this way, she'd be the world's first zillionaire."
This is the exact reason why I hope and pray they will never figure out a "fountain of youth". Humans are incapable of harnessing power without abusing it and leaving millions of people to rot. America would sell a single ounce of the stuff for a million dollars instead of helping others. Money is at the root of all our problems.
One of my cousins is almost like this. I remember when I first met her when I was 5. She was 16 and still looked like a baby. The difference is that she has the height of a 6 year old, but she's extremely skinny. It gives the same effect as a baby though.
wow, this is incredibly fascinating! she's survived so much, and i think she'll live much longer than the rest. but the sad thing is that her family would probably die before her, and i'm afraid she'll fall into the wrong hands, and that people just want to take adavntage of her and treat her like an experiment. i hope for the best, though.
i'm an aspie.. with her height and VISIBLE disability, she is more acceptable.. while I, will turn 23 on feb 29, 2011 (i know there's no 29 this year.) is forced to GROW UP and act my age. people complain of my habits. i have to have a job, own my own car/house to gain my family's trust & belief in me, and my freedom. They don't understand me and they also force me to understand them. I try to understand them but I really and hardly cannot. why cant they just accept me as i am.
@smcs I know EXACTLY what you mean. I am like a 4 1/2 - 5 year old emotionally/socially. Being 5 feet 11 inches tall, there isn't really any understanding when I suddenly behave like a 5 year old. Somehow in society, people expect that if you are short, then you must act like a child, but if you are tall then you act like an adult.
There are people who are short (dwarfs, and even people who are 4'10" tall) who are offended by being treated like a child, but how about people like us?? -- Codi
@smcs Why does society expect a person who is 5 feet 11 inches tall to behave like an adult and expect
someone who is 4 feet 10 inches to behave like a child? How about if you are severely mentally handicapped
(there are people more handicapped than me even) and you are tall? Why should they be "adult" just because they are tall?? I honestly think that if I had been even a proportionate dwarf with Autism, it would be better than being what I am (5'11") and have my type of autism.
@smcs wow just wow, not only did u just basically say "this kids weirder than me, why cant i get the same respect as them, their disabled, i should be more respected" REALLY? boo hoo, so u have to grow up and get a job and BE AN ADULT, yes, that happens in life, ur not physically or mentally incapible of doing so like this poor individual, also, im sick of other aspies complaining because "we arent accepted" NO ONE CARES, I'm an aspie, but i find the poor me mentality to be VERY selfish
@dark12794 you're just looking at Asperger Syndrome or Autism from one side. People with Asperger's and Autism function at different levels. I'm still rather like a 4 year old emotionally/socially. I have met a LOT of Asperger's people or mild autism cases where people are emotionally/socially like 15 year olds. But then, I've also
met a lot of people who are like 5 or 6 year olds. You seem to be very egocentric in thinking that EVERYONE with Autism or Asperger's is the same.
@dark12794 I have a friend that lives in Boise, Idaho who has Asperger's and he is emotionally/socially/mentally like a 7 year old. I know of several other people with Autism or Asperger's who are like 7 year olds. Just because SOME people with Asperger's or autism are like 15 year olds, doesn't mean EVERYONE is. Sorry, I'm finding this quite offensive. I can't hold a job for the life of me, do you think that I chose to be that way?? I think you need empathy skills. - Codi Preston
I'm sorry, guys.......I'm just having a hard time believing this. A joke is a joke. A prank is a prank. I get that. However, hasn't this gone far enough?
@thecommenter18 generally thats not how it works, if u can understand communication well enough to fully comprehend whats going on around her as anyone else would she would learn how to speak, thats just basic human logic and brain function, same way you learn any language
when you are 18, all those things that you have to deal with.
just look at Brooke, she looks happy too. everyone loves her and her supporting and loving family.
she might not be able to experience a lot of awesome stuff in this world, ight not even understand many many things that is happening around her. however, the amazing innocent for this long, probably until the day her life ends, she will still be a happy little girl in her own happy world(:
@kassxp You've really done a great job of romanticizing retardation. According to your line of thinking, intelligent people should envy the minds of dogs, lizards and chimps because they live in this perpetual state of ignorance (aka bliss). This girl suffers from profound mental and physical disabilities that disconnect her from the rest of humanity. She'll never learn, develop, or grow as a person and she'll never understand mature human relationships.. Sounds pretty lonely to me
@lemonrind I don't hold anything against criminals even - maybe it's because I'm like a 5 year old and I can easily forgive. Maybe some criminals had a bad childhood where they were abused or treated like garbage
by their so called parents. I hate hearing about people killing each other though or raping each other.
I just wish maybe everyone just stayed like a 5 year old - then maybe we wouldn't have so many problems.
You see two 4 yr olds fighting, 10 min later everything is forgiven!! - Codi
@lemonrind Human beings are awful, I agree with you. Just look at the newspaper every day and people are always hurting each other all the time. I've seen people who have said they are embarrasssed to be a human after seeing news about killings and whatever. I wouldn't go that far, but I am totally embarrassed to be an adult. I want to be 3 feet 4 inches tall and I think people would be less judgemental of me if I was. And I have been called every name you could imagine.
I only hope her DNA won't fall in the wrong hands. I'm not really comfortable with the idea of some sort of privileged people having an opportunity to unconstrainedly toy with their, or their loyal comrades' lifespans.
Brooke: I hope you have a great and wonderful 18th birthday today. You have been such an inspiration for special needs children and adults. Your warmth, kindness, and compassion shows through you clearly, and I wish we had more people in this world like you who are understanding and kind. It is my sincere wish that you celebrate your birthday in a fun way and that you have plenty of more birthdays ahead in the future!
She is adorable. She has turned 18 now per some news articles I have read this week. Poor wee thing to have so many health problems with it. Best wishes to this family and the little one.
@therealmaddie Actually we are both incorrect. I looked up the information and she was born on born January 8, 1993, which means she will turn 18 in roughly two months.
I think that this case actually is about the same as "Jyoti Amge's" - only difference is that I think Brooke is emotionally handicapped. It's so sad for her, I wonder what's going on in her little mind.

@sugreev2001 geneticists sequenced Greenberg's DNA, they found that the genes associated with the premature aging diseases were normal, unlike the mutated versions in patients with Werner syndrome and progeria.
Her telomeres shorter in normal rate so her cells will become cancerous or just will stop replicating. That is what scientists say. so probably she is not immortal and will, I think her body somehow managed to be immune to hormones or smthg. Anyway its amazing and cruel and it shows that we still don't know shit about human.

@pollordubai 1. what a sick thought to buy a child to use it for experiments!?! of course they should try to find out what causes her not to age, but use her for sience?! she is a human being and she deserves a normal life!! 2. Why we die is no mystery. our organs just weaken, humans werent "built" to live 80 years. You can see that because we get bad eyes or cant hear as good, when we age, we get weaker... what medicine can do nowadays is truly amazing, but if you consider it its not natural.
This could be a real breakthrough for docters. They should study her and find out whats causing this. They could be able to stop ageing who knows? They should offer the parents say £100,000 to buy her, then study her, do experiments and the likes. If they won't sell, take her she could be the answer to why we die.
@pollordubai that attitude is the exact reason why people should not be immortal. They manage to screw things up in their short existence so why prolong it. We will find the true fountain of youth when we ourselves learn how to exist in harmony with others.
@FairyFederation Not really cause you're talking all metaphorically. I know the world is fucked up but this could be something special. I just think Doctors should study her morre, they could find a real breakthrough.

@lovesinging18 a normal life? She's to say the very least not ordinary or normal in ne form or fashion. I dont think she should be bought, but agree she should be studied extensively. She could influence a mircaulous breakthrough in science.
@lovesinging18 Technically a human body is built to last however long its genetic makeup allows the body to. I have family members who have lived well past 100. I do think that we could benefit from studying her because while there's some anti-aging elements the fact that she hasn't aged emotionally or mentally might mean that we have seen it in the past but never to this extreme. (Like how some people never outgrow their teens--psychological or related to this? It'd be interesting to research)
they should look into the progeria which is a disease where your body accelorate in age there you could find the key maybe its postgeria(made that up)
@cocolover213 its not proderia, progeria attacks the cells dat age u and make u age while ur mental state of being is realy youg ur body is agein at per say wen ur six ur body whil age to sixty so progeria ages u dis girl dosent age only litry but not phsically get it
Pienso que alguna vez se tenia que dar el caso de una niña que se quede exactamente como bebe y viendo a la gente de la nueva generacion es el momento propicio para que pasa hoy mas que nunca,todos fuimos bebes algun dia y sabemos lo que es y no nos acordamos de nada digo esto porque la chica no es consciente de su situacion creo que se podria dar que la chica hablara pero seria una "rareza humana"tambien creo que esto puede ser algo concreto y volverse a repetirse.cayo en buenas manos
If only we could figure out what causes her not to age, we could possibly figure out how to apply it to people. Human DNA stops the body from aging, usually during the late age of your life. She really is a fountain of youth, and if we can figure out which part of the DNA does it we can figure out how to apply it to others we could possibly create a river of youth that everyone can drink out of (brook of youth?)
The family treats her like she's an embecile. They talk to her in a high pitched voice, call her Brookie, She sleeps in a crib , she stays in a baby swing. She can't walk or talk. The time her father says she's going to die, was when she was five, she slept for two weeks. One of the sisters can't even go away to college.
She's NOT the only one

@therealmaddie Actually we are both incorrect. I looked up the information and she was born on born January 8, 1993, which means she will turn 18 in roughly two months.

I think that this case actually is about the same as "Jyoti Amge's" - only difference is that I think Brooke is emotionally handicapped. It's so sad for her, I wonder what's going on in her little mind.

Her telomeres shorter in normal rate so her cells will become cancerous or just will stop replicating. That is what scientists say. so probably she is not immortal and will, I think her body somehow managed to be immune to hormones or smthg. Anyway its amazing and cruel and it shows that we still don't know shit about human.

@pollordubai 1. what a sick thought to buy a child to use it for experiments!?! of course they should try to find out what causes her not to age, but use her for sience?! she is a human being and she deserves a normal life!! 2. Why we die is no mystery. our organs just weaken, humans werent "built" to live 80 years. You can see that because we get bad eyes or cant hear as good, when we age, we get weaker... what medicine can do nowadays is truly amazing, but if you consider it its not natural.

This could be a real breakthrough for docters. They should study her and find out whats causing this. They could be able to stop ageing who knows? They should offer the parents say £100,000 to buy her, then study her, do experiments and the likes. If they won't sell, take her she could be the answer to why we die.
pollordubai 1 year ago
@pollordubai that attitude is the exact reason why people should not be immortal. They manage to screw things up in their short existence so why prolong it. We will find the true fountain of youth when we ourselves learn how to exist in harmony with others.

juniwilliams 1 year ago
@lovesinging18 Technically a human body is built to last however long its genetic makeup allows the body to. I have family members who have lived well past 100. I do think that we could benefit from studying her because while there's some anti-aging elements the fact that she hasn't aged emotionally or mentally might mean that we have seen it in the past but never to this extreme. (Like how some people never outgrow their teens--psychological or related to this? It'd be interesting to research)

If only we could figure out what causes her not to age, we could possibly figure out how to apply it to people. Human DNA stops the body from aging, usually during the late age of your life. She really is a fountain of youth, and if we can figure out which part of the DNA does it we can figure out how to apply it to others we could possibly create a river of youth that everyone can drink out of (brook of youth?)

The family treats her like she's an embecile. They talk to her in a high pitched voice, call her Brookie, She sleeps in a crib , she stays in a baby swing. She can't walk or talk. The time her father says she's going to die, was when she was five, she slept for two weeks. One of the sisters can't even go away to college.
