  • wow isn't she something! =D

    nice reminder about how much we may take for granted and a good opportunity to realize just how diverse our humanity really is. How wonderfully loving her parents seem to be! They probably have a lot more love in their home than a lot of families!!!!

  • what a touching photo-story, that little thing.
    Any chance the story behind it or where the family is from?

  • that must be so hard to take care of her, but i think she will be pretty cool when she gets older, because sometimes shorter is way better

  • It seems like there should be a nicer term for her than "primordial dwarfism."

  • i feel sorry for the little girl, but why did the parents wait 8 months to have an ultrasound done? just seems to me they should have seen a doctor. if the mother felt something was wrong and they live in canada so they have socialized medicine there so it couldnt have been a insurance problem.

    If she got an ultrasound....what good would that have done? There wouldn't have been anything they could have done to reverse the situation.

    How about "elfism"?

  • It's rather uncommon for someone with primordial dwarfism to live past 30.

    It's known to be caused by the inheritance of mutant genes from each parent.

    It's interesting to me as I'd recently learned that mutations are often carried as hidden genes or "recessives" that are difficult to eliminate by selection, and so build up in a population over time, eating away at the genetic quality like cancer. The problem is generally referred to as genetic load or burden and it's just one of the severe problems secular scientists have trying to make/force the theory of evolution to hold water (truth is it evidently *still* leaks quite a bit to presume to call it absolute fact). but for every rare, potentially unharmful mutation there are still just millions of counter-productive ones that maybe the "good" ones might only offset for a time. And that's the rosy picture. I imagine that's why it's somewhat aptly called a "load" or a "burden."

    A rather old figure I'd read had the accumulated genetic burden responsible for serious hereditary defects in approximately 5% of all births, with that percentage greatly increasing among children of closely related parents.

    Truth is, all of us have some kind of genetic flaws, and from what I'd read, it's only by little more than common consent that most of us call each other "normal."

  • echoz, since normal basically means within the norm, and since being flawed one way or another is very much the norm, you needn't put the word normal between quotation marks. :)
