Olivia Farnsworth from Great Britain suffers from a rare genetic disorder. Doctors call the girl a "bionic" child, and her mother says that her daughter is "made of steel."
7-year-old Olivia Farnsworth looks like an ordinary child, but in fact she has some really unique qualities: the girl never gets tired, can go without food for days and does not feel pain at all. The reason for this is a genetic disease, which, due to its extreme rarity, does not even have a name.
Her mother, Niki, 32, says she first began to see unusual signs of her daughter's condition when she was just a few months old.
Due to her illness, Olivia's hair grows extremely slowly. Because of this, until the age of four and a half, the girl was teased and called a boy. Also, the mother has to deal with uncontrollable outbursts of anger from her daughter.
But the biggest problems arise from the lack of pain.
Once a girl was hit by a car in the street and pulled her along the road for a considerable distance. Everyone around was terribly frightened, but Olivia just got up and went to her mother. And when a few years ago she fell and severely tore her lip, she did not even feel anything, although later plastic surgery was required to correct her appearance.
