Response: Turner's Syndrome

Turner's Syndrome is a genetic disease. Symptoms include-
  • Shorter then regular women
  • They cannot conceive children because their ovaries don't work.
  • They have extra skin on their neck.
  • Swelling on hands and feet
  • Heart effects
  • and Kidney problems
I find this very heartbreaking. With these symptoms, people wouldn't feel like being around you. Other then that, it seems to me that patients have a very miserable life. I would hate to be unable to bear children.Bearing children is a gift to women. It is what make a woman a woman. This is one of my dreams. Women have done nothing to get this disease. These patients won't be able to see the light of life. To die at age of 17 is unfair. Unfortunatly, there is no cure.
