SHOCKING PHOTOS:check out this 14-Yr-Old Boy With The Body Of a 110-Yr-Old

«§» 26 August 2013

A 14-year-old boy has been left with the body of a 110-year-old in India because he has a rare disease which makes him age eight times faster than normal.

Ali Hussain has seen five of his siblings die from the same condition called Progeria which is known to affect just 80 people worldwide.

Two of his brothers and three of his sisters have died from the disease in Bihar, the poorest state in India.

The rare condition is known to affect only 80 people in the world, but has killed five of his siblings Progeria causes rapid ageing and sufferers of the genetic disease are prone to arthritis, eye problems, heart disease and baldness.

Sufferers are not expected to live much beyond the age of 14 - but despite the grim prognosis Ali has refused to give up hope. "I very much want to live and I hope there is medicine for my condition out there.

I’m not scared of death but my parents have suffered a lot. I’d love to live much longer for them. I don’t want to burden them with any more pain."

Ali’s parents Nabi Hussain Khan, 50, and Razia, 46, are first cousins and were the product of an arranged marriage 32 years ago.

Thsts what comes from families marrying within their extended families.Its all down to blood.

Such marriages are common (first cousins marrying each other) in Asia. Other physical problems that are also common when they have children is that some are born deaf.

I understand work is going on to try to enlighthen people on the disadvantages of marrying a close relative. I hope soon the people will understand no one is trying to cheat them out of their way of life - but trying to save their lineage.
