Imagine you gave birth to a perfectly happy, healthy baby, but you later discovered that they had an extremely rare condition that meant they would never physically or mentally grow older. They would always remain exactly as they are at 4 months old. Healthy, happy, and capable of experiencing love and joy, but never developing into a child, teenager, or adult.

If doctors told you there was nothing wrong with their health and no treatment could ever change it, what would you do? How would you feel about raising a child who would remain a baby forever, could you even do it? and how would you handle knowing that you would continue to age while they never did?
