Canavan Disease Responce

Having canavan disease is a disease that may cause children not to live up to a double-digit age. Symptoms of Canavan Disease are mental retardation, loss of previously learned motor skills, abnormal muscle tone, and an abnormally large, poorly controlled head. It is also possible to lose all hearing. This disease was discovered in 1931. In my opinion I thought thatthis was pretty disturbing and that it is relly sad that these kids with a disproprtionate head will never be able to live to see their 11th birthday.
