Health Doctors manage to halt 7ft 12-year-old from growing any bigger

[The Helper]

Doctors first realised Brenden Adams was unusually big at two months, at four months he had all his teeth, and by the age of eight he was the same height as a 15-year-old.

Now at just 12 years old he is a staggering 7ft 3ins and until a recent medical breakthrough it was feared he would not stop growing.

Brenden's runaway growth - caused by a unique genetic condition -has baffled doctors for years and they have frantically tried to find a way of slowing it down.

Poor him, he must be constantly suffering from various causes of pain because of his illness.

He should play basketball, but as far as i know, such genetic problems often cause pain.

Complications with the condition - including fatty tumours, one which is on his brain, painfully enlarged joints, a heart condition and bleeding problems - mean he has no idea how long he has left to live.

Somehow i feel bad for this kid, due to the bolded part. I somehow am not afraid of dieing, i'm more afraid of dieing in pain, suffering. I'm pretty sure that's what this kid is going through, so its very sad.

Holy shit, that guy's tall. Poor dude.

Hmm , this brings up a topic. Genetic Engineering.

All the things i've watched stated that the animal is perfectly fine and healthy , only with that one genetic difference. ( glowing animals , fast growing animals )

Yet when the growth control gene of the human is messed up , look how much pain he is in?

Yeah, pretty sad life the kid has going on D=...

That sucks. What are fatty tumors? Tumors in fat? What's so hard about that. Just get liposuction and you're good as new.
