Question 14 (1 point) Ronaldo was born without the ability to experience pain, though he can perceive temperature differences and changes in pressure. What is his condition called?

Ronaldo’s condition is known as congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP). This rare genetic disorder means that individuals cannot feel physical pain, which can lead to unexpected injuries since they don't instinctively react to dangerous situations like most people do. While not feeling pain might sound like a superpower, it poses serious risks as injuries can go unnoticed and untreated. People with CIP often learn to manage their condition by relying on their other senses and instincts, such as being aware of body temperature and pressure changes. They may also develop heightened vigilance to avoid situations that could harm them, making their lives a unique mix of challenges and adaptations to ensure their safety.
