Controlling children's heights

In the book Normal at Any Cost, Susan Cohen and Christine Cosgrove write about the efforts of the medical-pharmaceutical complex to control kids' heights at the behest of the parents. For example, society views short boys and tall girls a different way then it does tall boys and short girls. So since the 1950s, drug companies have developed new ways to manipulate height so that the kids would feel "normal" about it. If a tall girl wants to stop growing, they would speed up her rate of puberty. If a short guy wants to get taller, the rate of his puberty would be slowed down.

This is not available to everyone, though. It is up to the doctor/drug company to decide whether the child needs the procedure. It is still unknown what the long-term effects this will have since it takes decades for those effects to emerge.
