PROGERIA.

                                        

                                       PROGERIA. 

 Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that causes children to age prematurely. The classic type of childhood progeria is Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, which is commonly referred to as progeria. It is characterized by dwarfism, baldness, pinched nose, small face and small jaw relative to the head size, delayed tooth formation, aged-looking skin, diminution of fat beneath the skin, stiff joints, and premature arteriosclerosis. Children with the progeria syndrome usually appear normal at birth. However, within a year, their growth rate slows and their appearance begins to change and age prematurely. They often suffer from symptoms typically seen in elderly people, especially severe cardiovascular disease. Death occurs on average at age 13, usually from heart attack. 

 

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome has several names in the literature (progeria, progeria of childhood, HGPS, and progeria syndrome); parents and others are urged to consult with a specialist in genetic diseases for additional information about diagnosis and treatments.

 Adalia Rose Williams, from Round Rock, Texas, suffers from a rare condition
called progeria which is making her tiny body age several times faster than
normal.

GATTACA.

The aspect of the film tthat grabbed my attention the most is how Vincent took over the life of Jerome. It's amazing how technology can make you impersonate another person. They had everything very controlled, from the dress and grooming, to blood or hair that might fall. I honestly do not know how people did not realize that it was someone else, i could see the difference, and counting it was a company with many controls, I don't understand how they didn't caught him, an invalid.

Charles Darwin and Lonesome George.

Charles Darwin.

Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Sherewsbury and died April 19, 1882. It was an English naturalist who postulated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through a process called natural selection. The evolution was accepted as fact by the scientific community and much of the public in his lifetime, while his theory of evolution by natural selection was not considered as the primary explanation of the evolutionary process until years and currently 1930 and now it is the basis of modern evolutionary synthesis. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discoveries are still the foundation charter of biology as a science, since they constitute a logical explanation that unifies observations about the diversity of life. 

 Lonesome George. 

 Lonesome George was a male Pinta Island tortoise and the last known individual of the subespecies. In his last years, he was known as the rarest creature in the world. George served as a potent symbol for conservation efforts in the Galápagos and internationally.
