BREAKING NEWS – Whitebridge, Scotland – Most people can only dream of a life without pain, but for one 71-year-old woman in Scotland, that dream is her reality. Jo Cameron only recently found out she has a rare genetic mutation that prevents her from experiencing pain. All her life, Cameron had scrapes and burns and cuts, but hadn’t felt any pain, often only noticing burns until she smelled burning flesh, according to the release. She’s also never needed painkillers after surgery and she told the BBC she didn’t feel pain during childbirth — even without an epidural. Cameron had a very unique insight to her rare condition that she explained to the British Journal of Anaesthesia. “If I lived in London during 1889 and I was attacked by Jack the Ripper, I wouldn’t know how badly he had injured me, until I walked away from him, looked back, and noticed all of my guts on the ground.”
