This type of height growth in some men and women is caused by malfunctioning growth glands. They may be tall, but their bones are also fragile and they usually suffer from a lot of chronic physical pain.

Thanks for mentioning that. I was going to if no one else had before me. Not only do people afflicted with this syndrome (the name of which escapes me) have the problems you mention, but they typically die at an early age. The human heart and other organs are not capable of supporting such a giant body.

As well as multiple congenital anomalies. This poor woman is doomed to a very short, uncomfortable life. She is to be pitied and prayed for.
