This video will tell you a story about a man who died by growing another skeleton. He eventually became so ossified that his body stopped functioning. This was due to Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, a rare genetic disorder where bones spontaneously replace other bodily tissues. A patient with this disease will grow bones where they are not supposed to. Because this disease gets worse and worse over time, those with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva live a very difficult life.

This video was made by McMaster University students Andia Tofighbenam, Nishara Vathanakumaran, Sharafat Syed, and Trevor Wong, in collaboration with Selina Tang and the Demystifying Medicine McMaster Program.
