Re: Have there been any advances in Leg Lengthening or Stem Cell Therapy? Thread Starter

I'm asking this out of curiosity. I used to follow the diaries of Leg Lengthening patients on a forum called "Make Me Taller". Some of these patients have now had their surgeries 15 years ago before it had entered mainstream consciousness. While LL isn't considered a socially acceptable surgery, enough of these operations are going on worldwide including here in the U.S. and some high profile magazines and news shows have done stories on it.

There also used to be a blog called "Natural Height Growth" that tracked advances in post-puberty growth research but it has since been disbanded.

Now that Leg Lengthening is almost 20 years old as an "acceptable" surgery (I know it started in the 50s) and there is so much competition, why hasn't the price come down and why have there been no ground breaking innovations as of late?

You asked about heightism in academia-- no, I am not aware of any in my experience. As I said, I am very blessed to have such great colleagues and support staff people to work with.

FYI, in my experiences, heightism is quite rare in the law field. -Pre-law student

I remember watching an episode of Law & Order SVU where at the end of a trial, the Prosecutor (female) went on and about a man's "Napoleon Complex". I'd wager that height is brought up regularly (depending on where in law) to help paint a picture. What do you think?

Re: Do you want children?

I do want kids someday. If how you thought was a good approach, then blacks, gays and other groups would not have kids.

Re: Has being short made you understand white privilege? Thread Starter

As a short Asian man, it helped me to understand it better. Both share a common attribute. Those who are a part of the privileged group don't realize they have it and those who aren't a part of the group realize the price they pay for not being a part of that group/class.
