There was a girl in germany with the same condition there is also a website about her. She died a few years ago because of her illness. This isn't the fountain of youth.

There was a programme on Sky3 last night about her. It was facinating.

Baltimore: ‘Fountain of Youth’ Brooke Greenberg Dies at 20 Having Never Aged

A woman dubbed the "fountain of youth" as she never aged beyond toddlerhood has died.


Brooke Greenberg died last week at the age of 20. The cause of death is unknown at present. She had puzzled doctors for years and eventually was diagnosed by Syndrome X.

Rabi Andrew Busch delivered the eulogy at her funeral. He told New York Daily News: "While the outside world may have noticed Brooke's physical stature and been puzzled by her unique development state, she brought joy and love to her family.

"Her parents, three sisters and extended family showered her with love and respected her dignity throughout her entire life."

She was buried at the Baltimore Hebrew Centre at the weekend, three days after her death.


Greenberg looked and acted like a toddler throughout her entire life. Scientists studied her DNA to learn more about human aging and extending life.


Geneticists found her genes associated with premature aging diseases were normal, however. Most of her problems were a result of her body running out of sync. One of her doctors, Richard Walker explained in 2009: "Various parts of her body, rather than all being at the same stage, seem to be disconnected."

I'm surprised she made it into her double digits. I first read about her when she was 8, doctors always saying they had no idea how long she was going to live

So much for the "youth" gene.
