(0.00 / 0 votes)This is Dr Lin. He's an|infant disorder specialist from Cornell.
I want to assure you both that|there is nothing debilitating|about your son's condition.
He's totally healthy|and normal in appearance...
alert and quite happy.
However, his cells are|developing at what we feel...
is four times the normal rate.
Even though your son was only|ten weeks old when he was born...
physically he was nine months|and ready to leave your womb.
Nature has given us all|an internal clock.
It meters out lifespan,|controls our growth.
Your son's internal clock...
seems to be ticking|faster than usual.
- But he's healthy?|- Absolutely.
I'm sorry.|I still don't understand.
I've never heard|anything like this before.
Well, quite frankly,|neither have we.
There are other aging syndromes|that we know of.
Progeria, for example, which is|very devastating to the child, but--
Jack's cells are replicating|at an unheard of rate.
Is he gonna age like this|the rest of his life?
Well, sir, this is|only speculation...
but, uh, we feel that|at age one...
your son may be physically|around age four.
And if this continues|throughout his life...
by the time he reaches|age ten, well, he could--
Appear to be|an ordinary, full-grown...
Are you serious?
That's where he lives, right|down the street my whole life...
and I didn't even know about it.
I don't believe any of it.|He's lying.
Yeah. He's not a monster.|There's no such thing.
I'm telling you.|He's our age, but he looks 40.
All hairy and everything.|He's like a freak or something.
Just like in that one movie.
- Which movie?|- Duh! The one--
- Sorry.|- The one with the freak in it.|What did I just say?
Oh. Oh, yeah, l-l saw that one.
You didn't see it. His mom wouldn't|let him see it 'cause he has nightmares.
