You are talking about progeria, premature age disease.  It comes in
two forms, one of which is apparent very early, and one of which
strikes in mid teens.  Both produce characteristics of advanced
age in young people.

Victims of progeria resemble the Santilli creature only in a few
very superficial ways.  Typically they do not have enlarged eyes,
and they generally do have enlarged noses and ears, just the
opposite of this creature.  They also have loose, wrinkled skin,
while our beloved SUE is very smooth.

Doctors who have looked at the film for me have all said that
attempting to use progeria as an explanation is ridiculous.
