IDEATION
Discovering a YouTube documentary about a Korean child named Wonki Hong has first sparked my interest in Progeria (Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome). Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that accelerates aging by about seven times, leading to severe health problems and often premature death in adolescence.

This editorial delves into progeria through impactful case studies, highlighting its biological details and symptoms. With only around 80 children affected worldwide, notable cases include Sam Bern, whose parents founded The Progeria Research Foundation, and Wonki Hong, the only child with progeria in South Korea, who actively raises awareness and advocates for a cure.
