It says it's only pain that she can't feel. That's gotta be rough on her folks. Just imagine all of the times you were told not to do something because it would hurt you. She wouldn't even be able to grasp that concept. I hope she lives a long happy life.

 

Yeah, me too, because it's more dangerous for her. If she's ever sick, or if she's broken a bone or infected a wound, she'll never notice unless someone else does. So she's running a higher risk of early death

If she where to make it to adulthood however, it could have some great benefits. She should become a boxer, or compete in martial arts competitions. Though they may not allow somebody with such a huge advantage to fight.

That wouldn't be an advantage at all. Pain is a way for your body to tell you to stop letting it get hurt. If she got into the ring and couldn't tell she was about to be killed, that would be quite a pickle, wouldn't it?
