Its been recently on the news that the Chinese can make someone taller by surgery. I've heard its painful but it brings the topics up about why someone would want to go through that just to get abit taller. So far so good it look likes it worked from on the news. Though it does take several months to recover. I don't have a clue what they do to you in the surgery maybe your body is built with extra space around your bones or something. I think they break, or do something to the ankle but i'm not quite sure. Does anyone know how the surgeons make you taller?

Hovever there must be some sort of downside to it.Maybe it might affect your walking when you are older or something like that. I think that the issue that God made you who you are stuff will come in to it when Christians make their views clear.

I think probably its useful to have those operation but I don't think just anyone should be allowed to under go the surgery it should be aimed at helping disabilities with heights and scientists should investigate more into the downsides of the surgery.The cost of the surgery is probably very expensive. It does make you wonder why some people are desperate to get taller?

I can only make a guess that from the looks of things now its not worth putting yourself through all that pain just to become taller.I was surprised when heard surgeons could make you taller because I didn't think it could be possible. I think its extreme.But then that is my opinion. What is your opinion?

I thought the just used anthropolgy or whatever it's called and stick needles and stuff in the bottom of your foot.

They break your bones in your leg, remove the tendons and so on, then using a clamp, force the leg to stretch up to four inches longer than it started as.

In China being 5'4" rather than 5' is perceived as being a huge advantage and there are even adverts on TV which reinforce this notion, i.e the taller girl gets more blokes or the little bloke is scared of the taller man (though Mike Tyson is 5'10" and even if I was 6'10" I'd never mess with the man).

The Chinese also think being taller will get you a better job.
