That's just pure unadulterated rat ŝhit coming from this fruitcake....
Just cause some of us here would love to see a better, superior alternative to the contemporary barbaric elective that's currently going around at $100k with sum additional $$$ (another 50k) for emergency contingencies just to fking even have a 90% chance of undergoing the whole damn ordeal smoothly unscathed (since that's what the pros are charging) which is based on an almost 100 years old ancient science makes us crazy delusional lunatics best consigned to an asylum according to this fruitcake lmao!
I don't know about others but I'm only 22 years old and thus prudently can afford to wait at the very least 10 years for a superior alternative to emerge, based on tangible concrete evidence from my perusal of the current technological trajectory of the biological sciences which includes stem cells, bones and cartilages I can assuredly say we have the technology right now, currently available to treat short height but for obvious reasons won't get manifested because of the complete and utter bantherpiss ŝhitte of a culture/society in the west especially the US where most of these researches would've taken place.
My only hope is capitalism and tangentially related r&d development to height growth like stem cells, bioprinting, cartilage implantation all of which is feasible right now that'll usher in the secret to growing taller proportionally without any limits and also without harming anything in the human body basically recreating the growth spurt period while maintaining the unclosed growth plate however long someone desires.
Only luddites that doesn't even understand how science works let alone even have the mental capacity to appreciate it to any meaningful degree would deem my choice as being crazy/stupid/delusional or egregiously equate my foresight as being merely composed of blind faith in a miracle silver bullet in some god knows how long distant future.
Note that this is WITHOUT major attention being paid to the field of cartilage tissue engineering. Furthermore, this article actually serves as a follow-up to this other article:
https://physicsworld.com/a/biopen-speeds-up-stem-cell-repair/
I've taken the liberty of bolding and underlining something particularly interesting about these two articles. Notice what it is? The second article, which is about the original release of the Biopen, was published on March 20th of this year, while the first one, which details successful forays into cartilage printing using the Biopen (and even upcoming attempts to surgically implant the tissue) was published this month, roughly 7 months later.
Then there's this:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181010105531.htm
The paper, for the scientifically-inclined:
https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ten.tec.2018.0184
So it's now possible to 3D print connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons, which are among the soft tissue that is distended and damaged by distraction osteogenesis (ultimately resulting in loss of physical ability). The paper was published on September 14th of this year. This again follows up on the Biopen article from months before, as well as several other research papers involving printed biological tissue that have been published throughout this year.
And again I repeat that all this progress comes without any special attention paid to the field of tissue engineering. This is a natural progression. So, as I've always said, there's nothing absurd about asserting that a non-crippling, safer, better alternative to distraction osteogenesis could be as close as 10 years away, probably more like 7 or 8 if height increase had as much impetus from the (overwhelmingly male) community of short statured people who want to be taller as androgenic alopecia gets from men/women who are balding or weight loss procedures get from overweight people.
Stuff like this is the reason why bullsh*t copes like "therapy" and "acceptance" (i.e. resignation) should NEVER be suggested as "solutions" to height dysphoria or any problems involving a person's height. The community ought to be encouraging short people who have experienced heightism and/or are otherwise unhappy with their height to make as much money as they possibly can so we can all come together and help FUND research like this, so that we can ALL have a solution that doesn't involve excruciating pain and risk of being permanently crippled a la unicorn from this board.
If your only hope is capitalism then you are a pure idiot only for that. Because everything in capitalism is for the profit. So even if they find an easy alternative for LL it will be much more expensive because it would be much easier/safer. So thinking that capitalism will invent something safer than LL and cheaper too (because you mentioned money as a drawback of LL) is a joke.
So you are a 22yo kid with big mouth and delusions. Nothing will change in LL in 10 years because we are not even close to something else and 10years are too few for doing something so big like altering the height of adults without a surgery. The best it happened since 50s when LL was invented (in communism btw!) was magnetic nails on 2011.
So, 60 years for something that still needs surgery and it is more invasive than Ilizarov (but much better in terms of having everything secret).
So stupid little kid, you can wait as much as you want. You can even hammer your head to maybe become taller. But the truth is that we don't have any real alternative to LL, even in an experimental stage, so stop saying delusional bs and insulting people that did LL (I did it on your age btw and at that years till your 40s are the height important, not when you are middle aged) because they weren't delusional cowards but wanted to get rid of their short height once and for all.
Stryder spoke to you much better than he should, like I did on the first time, but leting a kid insulting me by saying delusional bs and criticize me as a fruitcake is too much for a second time.
So, hammer your bones as much as you want or waitnfor injections to become 6ft in a few days. Till then see your life passing by and lose some of your best years being miserable and almost invisible to the opposite gender waiting for miracles. It is your choice.
But you are too little to judge an LLer of doing whatever it took to get rid of his short stature. And trust me, most of us are so happy with our choice and that choice made us much better persons and especially made our characters much harder. Because after you doing something that hard to make your life better (or even to make you accept yourself better) then nothing can stop you to achieve your dreams.
LL is trully lifechanging in so many ways that naive kids like you who want to become taller just by a pill or an injection will neven understand.
