It is clear that in our culture, being tall has positive social advantages. Refute or defend the idea that we should use growth hormone to increase the height of all children

Con arguments might include ideas such as being tall or short are generally not considered diseases and therefore ought not to be treated unless they fall beyond the norm. Individuals might argue from a utilitarian point of view that fashion should not be a determinant in our decision making in this area and that to do so would lead to intolerance and discrimination against those who are not "fashionably tall.". Perhaps an argument that such a trend might in the end lead to a decrease in the genetic gene pool and thus lower our ability to respond to change could be made. Arguments could also be made that this is the province of the divine and that man should not take this upon themselves. Pro arguments might cite virtue ethics and that this falls within the role of the parents. Thus, if a couple made this decision, it would not only be morally acceptable, it could be something that they could be criticized for if they failed this duty. A moderate eugenics program that "bettered" the gene pool might be acceptable if we were wise enough to know what "bettered" means.
