Real-Life Growth

Interesting, for several reasons. First, there was a question about the average height of women. It's something between 5'3" and 5'5", at least in the western world. Heights vary by region.

But check out this chart: http://www.drpaul.com/growth%20curv2-20yrs-girls.pdf This shows the average height of girls by age, from 2 to 20. (Hope I don't get accused of posting kiddie porn now =P )

Without going into TOOOO many details, one thing you can pick out of this is that, at age 14, most girls are FINISHED growing. The height at the 50th percentile only changes from 63 1/2 inches at 14 to 64 1/4 at 20 - that is, 5'3.5" to 5'4.25". Even girls who are extremely tall or extremely short seem to follow this pattern, growing only another fraction of an inch once they hit 14.

And so, I have to ask the question...what would HGH do if given to a woman who was older, closer to being finished with her growth? Like say, 20, or even 30? And even if it wouldn't usually work under normal circumstances, would it be possible to add another substance to 'trick' the body into thinking it's puberty time again?
