Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Dear , Thanks for making us aware of this article; it was interesting indeed. Though this may come as a surprise to some on this list, I am strongly opposed to cosmetic limb lengthening. There are a couple of reasons for this, but the main one is the few doctors who know how to do this well are far too busy with people who really need them to lengthen these people and it is wrong to make those people wait even longer than they already have to just because someone around 5'5 " cannot live with himself at that height and feels he needs to be taller. People may also be interested to know these people are the majority of people I hear from in response to my statement on ELL that Dan has posted on the website. I won't respond to them, but they keep writing nonetheless and eventually find someone to help them. Gillian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
