This look extremely painful [xx(]
I was wondering if this use to be a popular procedure among dwarfs?

Seems like they would end up disproportionate. You know, with long legs and short arms. Funny, I'm 5'7", and the tallest girl in a family of women 5'2". I always wanted to be shorter when I was younger.

OUUCHHHH !!...does it work on other parts of the body ? *smirk smirk *

I agree with Nancy, that the lengthening of one section of the leg, especially by 4 or 5 inches would make the person have very strange proportions. Oh well, whatever floats their boat.

Too bad when society teaches that a perfectly healthy body is inadequate because it doesn't look a certain way.

Hehehe neilep,
I was hoping China doesn't start a similar penis enhancement "surgery" [:p]
Now look at this....make me think how lucky we all are for not living there.
quote:
"Ms. Chen, 35, is a prim and confident member of the Communist Party. She scored high on the entrance exam, impressed her interviewer and made the short list of 80 finalists, whittled down from more than 600.
She knew her application was in trouble, though, when she was called in for a second physical checkup. Soon she got the bad news: she could not get the job, she was told, because she is half an inch too short.
Ms. Chen is one of many Chinese who are denied government jobs because they do not meet an often unwritten code of fitness - height, looks and robust good health - that many say has nothing to do with their ability to perform the task in question."

Too late. I'm constantly spammed by people asking if I'd like to enlarge my penis. I 've heard about men going to med clinics or tattoo parlours to have teflon coated implants put in their penises. One such fellow on a talk show was quite enthusiastic about his.
-
I've heard about that too...in fact there was a documentary on it over here a few years ago which showed in detail the procedure.....made my eyes water !!

Now what the hell difference does an inch or two of height make? On the other hand, I can understand the difference that inch or two makes when applied elsewhere. I'd be more impressed by the latter surgery.

...I always thought it was what you do with your inches, not how many there are !!

I guess if there is a set cutoff on your height for a certain job that you really want, it would make a lot of difference. For instance, if the only thing keeping me from being an astronaut was a couple of inches of height, I'd be in the OR in a big hurry, either getting stretched or shortened.
As for the elsewhere situation, I'm not so sure about that.....I think I can compensate with technique.

Makes about as much sense as a penis enlargement, huh?
