The tallest man ever recorded, Robert Wadlow, reached an unprecedented 8 feet 11.09 inches (2.72 m) in height and weighed 440 pounds at his death. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death. Do you think this could be induced artificially?
