Rarity
Morning Glory Syndrome is extremely rare. High-end guesses claim that this syndrome, first documented and diagnosed in the late 1970s, affects approximately one person out of every million in the United States. More conservative speculation place that number closer to one out of every two or three million. Unfortunately, no surveys have been completed to document the exact effect rate of this syndrome, and very few research articles have been published in the United States on the topic since its first discovery. Several French organizations claim to be knowledgeable on the topic, but the published research seems lacking even from them.

Famous quotes containing the word rarity:
“Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Love, by its very nature, is unworldly, and it is for this reason rather than its rarity that it is not only apolitical but antipolitical, perhaps the most powerful of all antipolitical human forces.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
