Paa and a true case of Progeria

Children afflicted with Progeria endure a lot of stares, sickness and a very short life. I checked online and found numerous cases of kids affected by this disease. Basically, a sufferer ages too fast with limited mobility and a lot of pain usually associated with the old.

Amitabh's 'Paa' is one of Bollywood's more beautiful movies and destined to hit International theatres soon. The movie succeeds in drawing the attention of the viewer to the plight of similar children from around the world.

I wish there is a cure for this disease so that these children can grow up normal and healthy lives like the rest of us. I wish God had created everybody equal.

Here is a link on Zachary Moore, a child who died at age 3 with the disease. May God bless his soul. - https://www.oldatage3.com/Home_Page.php
