Published on exploringyourmind.com and a couple of other publications, Olivia Farnsworth’s case is one of the most surprising in history. She’s a British girl who doesn’t experience pain, hunger, or the need sleep. These are three of our greatest human weaknesses and limitations. Therefore, what happens in the mind of someone who doesn’t even register them? Furthermore, how can a person survive who lacks any notion of danger?  Olivia Farnsworth is currently ten years old. Everything points to the fact that her case is the only one of its kind in the world. At least, it’s the only one we know about. In fact, when her condition became public, much of the press labeled her ‘the bionic girl’.

However, she did manifest certain strange symptoms from an early age. Indeed, her mother noticed she was different from other children when she was a baby.
