Exactly. Failing to go through puberty is a developmental problem and it is doubtful that this child will live any longer than an ordinary human being, assuming her condition doesn't present complications that kill her long before that. I don't know anything about this Walker fellow, but from what I get from this article, he strikes me as a charlitan.

He's extremely lucky, but certainly no charlatan. He's stumbled across the human equivalent of a master developmental control gene knockout mouse.

Someday you may get a replacement organ in time due to r&d stemming from this girl's DNA.
