When you don't look your age: Life with progeria and cutis laxa
Manage episode 443532095 series 2831303
The moment we meet someone – especially for the first time – we're sizing them up. We notice perceived gender, race, and one of the big ones: age.
But what happens when you look much older than you actually are?
Meet a man with progeria - a rare condition that causes accelerated aging; And a woman with cutis laxa - a rare connective tissue disorder where skin has less elasticity.
