My Lion King Forum

I was surfing the web when I found this depressing story about a kid's muscles, tendons, ligaments, and body tissues turning to bone. It made me cry very hard. It's the cruelest disease I have ever heard of. It's known as Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), and sometimes referred to as Stone Man Syndrome. God bless this innocent cutie.

Oh my god. Poor little kid. It's so heartbreaking that this terrible disease is robbing him of his childhood by completely restricting his mobility. And to think it will only get worse as he gets older. :S Times like these I'm grateful as hell to have been born normal...

it's a genetic disease it will take years and years of research to find something that suppresses it, then maybe we will find a cure. poor kid. And since idiots are against stem cell research we will probably never find a cure. *sigh* We could have cured some many diseases already...

Poor little thing, this is so heartbreaking

Some retard even commented, "HAHAHAHA YOUR KID'S GOING TO DIE," and everybody hates him now. Something is totally wrong with him. He deserves that disease WAY more than that cute little guy.
