A 4 year old boy trapped in a teenager’s body

I commend the author for coming to terms with the disease and deciding to face it again if his child were to inherit it.<p>Having said that, it is not the decision I would make. I would, with 100% certainty, biopsy the embryo and eliminate those with the disease, whether I had experienced it myself or not. And I wouldn&#x27;t think twice.

The story is well written.<p>I like the take on the disease beeing some kind of family legacy even with all it encompass.<p>I couldn&#x27;t imagine what the author went through, puberty at 4 years old.

Hum, so this mean that instead to have to wait 18 years to have adult male born in mars, we could decide if we want to accelerate the process and save 10 years (and maybe a few malformations), because is biologically possible to do so. Wow!<p>A small step for testosterone (god bless it), a big step for mars colonization.<p>(On the other hand, astronauts fighting all the time inside a complex life supporting system would be not probably the best idea)

“This was impossible because I inevitably...” almost spit out my coffee. Interesting and funny read!

I find it intriguing that some comments classify it as a disease. I would classify it as abnormal caused by a genetic mutation, but I fail to see it as a disease. Other than changing the timeline he encounters puberty, everything else about him is completely normal.
