This report delves into the obvious question of short While told with humor, the author delves into very hard questions about improving a human body. This report delves into the obvious question of short versus tall. But there are a host of other issues that I didn’t consider until listening to this well written life experience.
Questions raised include: Medically necessary treatments. Parent-led Eugenics Society. Long-term effects of drugs/treatments so new that we have no idea what effects these treatments can have on a child 20 years from now.
