Discounting height neurosis. As in a tangible difference to your attractiveness and social perception. I believe below 5'7"-5'8" LL is a good idea, above that isn't necessary although still can yield positive outcome, say 5'9" to 6'0".
I believe LL should be banned for anyone above 5'8" until the surgery becomes non-invasive one day.
Below 6'0" only, look at Alfonso. However, if I was 5'11" I wouldn't even consider it.
Regardless, to me I think LL is not logical if you're already taller than most people you see.

Exactly
LL at 5'11 is beyond me but to each their own I guess

If it becomes non invasive it should still be restrictive because then everyone would get it and the short people would be short again
Definition of logical: a tangible difference to your attractiveness and social perception
For someone without height neurosis? Any height.
For someone with height neurosis? Any height.
And no dude, it shouldn't be fúcking restricted to anyone. "Everyone will get it." So they don't have a right to? Anyone should be able to get it. And it doesn't matter anyways, you're worrying about everyone getting it when it should really be your son's son worrying about technology getting to this point in the year 2100.
The same way you gatekeep people from getting CLL is the same way Paley used to gatekeep anyone above 5'5 from getting CLL. Then he realized someone 5'6 could also have height neurosis (shocker), and so can 5'7, 5'8, 5'11, doesn't even matter.

If LL became as easy as a keratin treatment everyone would do it and it wouldn't solve the problem of shortness and heightism, no solution for that
There is no reason for a 6'4 guy to want to get to 6'7 apart from bball, just pointless so there is a point where LL isn't a rational choice
which is what I asked
Factoring in neurosis you could justify your argument

I'm not gatekeeping anyone, people can do whatever they want. The everyone will get it is the point just for the sake of discussion.
I think this is individual, but it seems to me that men 178-179 and taller in most cases don’t have a height neurosis and wouldn’t go for this surgery

Not necessarily. After 6'4" or so, height starts to become a disadvantage. So worst case scenario, everyone would be tall and height no longer matters.
