Jo Cameron NBC July 2019

This is a short July 2019 NBC docu-news program with then 71-year-old Jo Cameron.

Jo Cameron is one of two people on Earth known to have a genetic mutation that makes it "impossible for her to experience pain, fear, unhappiness or any type of anxiety".

Scientists believe they now understand why. In a recent paper published in The British Journal of Anesthesia, researchers attributed Ms. Cameron’s virtually pain-free life to a mutation in a previously unidentified gene. They believe this mutation may also be connected to why Ms. Cameron has felt little anxiety or fear throughout her life and why her body heals quickly.

Scientists are also intrigued by Ms. Cameron’s extraordinarily low anxiety level. On an anxiety disorder questionnaire, she scored zero out of 21. She cannot recall ever having felt depressed or scared.

“I am always very happy,” she said.
