Should the growth hormone, somatotropin, be given to short children, Not diagnosed with dwarfism?

So they can be taller if requested by parents. Why or why not?

My opinion is if your child is short have him or her checked out by a specialist and see if there is something wrong. And if they are not going to grow, then I would consider the medicine.

I don't think it is healthy. There is nothing wrong with being short. Parent's should love their children regardless of how tall they are

I agree with Ryan's mom. Next thing you know people will be giving somatotrophin to their kids so they can be models.
