If a man breaks his leg and permanently bends it out of shape, his genes may pass down to his son and his son will inherit a gammy leg. In essence, you control your children's/grandchildren's body shape before they are even born. Nature would imply it naturally bones without anybodies' control - bullsh!t! It's still man-controlled/man-made. If you want your children to grow taller than whomever they inherited their genes from, then feed them foods and drinks rich in calcium and protein while they're in their growing years (ages: 0 - 21 for boys and 0 -18 for girls) and encourage your children to engage in sports that involve a lot of stretching of the bones and muscles.

But it improved my quality of life, was practically risk free & affordable (at the time). I don't see much difference between that and surgery to increase height.

At no time should you ever consider having both lower and upper legs lengthened at the same time. While some international facilities perform this variation, recovery is very difficult and physical therapy nearly impossible because of the pain. We spoke to one person who opted for this. A year after the operation he was still bedridden.

Given our findings, it is puzzling that tall men are more attractive. Women might be more attracted to taller men because of the direct benefits it would confer to them, as height is universally positively associated with social status (Schumacher 1982; Silventoinen et al. 1999; Cavelaars et al. 2000; Judge and Cable 2004). Also in our study there was a positive association between height and income, but this did not translate into more reproductive success for taller men.
...male body size (i.e. height) plays a role in both human mate choice and intra-sexual competition. Women prefer taller rather than shorter men in online dating advertisements (Salska et al. 2008)...taller men receive more responses to online dating advertisements (Pawlowski and Koziel 2002), are more likely to obtain a date (Sheppard and Stratham 1989), are more desirable in a speed-dating setting (Kurzban and Weeden 2005), have more attractive female partners (Feingold 1982) and are more likely to be married (Pawlowski et al. 2000). Although male height is related to mate choice in Western societies, recent studies indicate that preferences for taller men are not cross-culturally universal (Sear and Marlowe 2009).

You are indisputably correct, that average-height men have more offspring. Taller man are shown to be more attractive to women though. Also:
According to a meta-analysis of four studies (>8k total subjects) by Judge and Cable (2004):height is positively related to income after controlling for sex, age, and weight.

How often does the average guy have to ward off a rapist or an attacker? We're not living in a Steven Seagal movie.
How many fights do you, I mean does he, plan to be in? I mean seriously? If any doctor operated on someone with this as a reason the doctor should be locked up.
Oh, and he wont be fighting anyone for a long long time, maybe never again - with his bad balance and weakened legs.
Breast implants are a totally different ballgame to leg lengthening. Are you aware that not many cosmetic surgeries require the patient to engage in months and maybe years of physiotherapy afterwards?

I'd rather make average sized babies with a fella like GhostInTheRuins, whose mental health and self-esteem seem to be fully intact, than a controlling narcissist who thinks that social status will be magically achieved by having his legs broken.
UCDVet wrote: » That's probably be true. But if you'd met neither and saw them both at a pub, statistically, most women, would prefer the taller guy. And in the context of a night-out at a club or pub, it'd probably take a while before you realized the guy you found more attractive was a controlling narcissist.
