Children Height

Edit Post

I was wondering if someone undergo the limb lengthening, will their offspring get that height boost?

Good question.

I have been told no by the Doctor.    Your lengthening is not programmed into your genetic code which is handed down to your offspring.  Much like how if you transplant hair into bald areas, it does not change the predetermined DNA activations which will engage in increased levels of DHT production for your off-sprint once they get older and hence baldness.

That's interesting. It is because I see sometimes very short parents and tall children. So I thought it could be possible. That the new bone structure will integrate into the parent physiology, so any future child might get taller haha.

It just depends on what genes you get my cousins dad is 5’8.5 and his mom is 5’2 but my cousin is 6’3 it really is uncontrollable you could be 5’4 and end up with a 6’5 kid it just depends honestly on your entire family history you could have great great grandparents who were tall and the height comes from them

On the other end of the spectrum... I’ve seen a 6’1 dad and 5’7 mom have a 5’4 son. He was 5’3 until 15 and looked very baby faced, just looked like he hadn’t hit puberty yet but nope, he stopped growing at 5’4 and that was that.

My Dad is 6' and Mom is 5'0 and I ended up 5' 0.75" (a smidge under 5'1).   Sometimes the body just decides to take a detour away from the plan. LOL!

It is not a good question. It is a stupid question.
How could someone ask if a cosmetic surgery could alter out genes and dna so after it we'll pass different genes to our children?

Its like saying a brunette woman who paints her hair blonfe if may born blonde kids.
Really stupid question and topic.
