Default Hayley - the child who's older than her grandma

Anybody watch it on channel 5? started at 9 and finnished at ten, was about a 6yr old girl with a condition where her body ages 8-10 times faster than normal, usually in 90% of cases the child will only live till circus 13yrs old
I personally thought it was pretty touching, she was the loveliest 6 yr old you could meet by the looks and sounds of her, a huge shame that she has that condition (which ive forgotten the name of, begins with a P?) what a waste of a life, it always happens to the good un's amongst us!!
So what were peoples thoughts and views on the subject if you watched it?

I did see the original documentary a few years ago too.

An amazing little girl. She came accross as such a bright young girl with a superb positive attitute and outlook on life. A true inspiration for all of us.
