The protagonist of this interesting conference is called Sam Berns. Unfortunately he has already died (about three months after holding this conference).
In it reveals to us his philosophy of life which is based on three points. It is worth listening to this boy whose life has not been easy and that has not prevented him from being happy until the last day of his life.

Sam's parents, Drs. Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns, founded The Progeria Research Foundation (the Progeria Research Foundation) in 1999 to find the cause, treatment and cure for this rare disease. Children with Progeria live an average of 13 years.
In progeria, aging symptoms can appear from the first year of life.
Children, when they are five or eight years old, lose their hair, their skin wrinkles, suffer from atherosclerosis, osteoporosis or arthritis, diseases of the elderly.
There is only one person who survived to 26 years of age. It was a boy named Leon Botha from South Africa. He died in 2011 from complications of Progeria.
There is a biological coincidence between children with Progeria and the aging population in general. We all make some progerin, the disease-causing protein in Progeria. Children with Progeria make much more progerin.
