Tall Girls Experiment

From 1959 to 1975 in the State of Victoria, Australia 1959 -1975, 168 tall girls were prescribed the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic hormone. The drug was given to make the girls mature faster and thus stop growing too tall. The carcinogenic properties of DES had been proven 4 years before the treatment was stopped. They have stopped using DES but the practice of prescribing hormones to stop girls from growing taller has continued.


 * 1) High doses of hormones can have negative consequences later in life.
 * 2) No medical evidence that being tall is harmful to girls. Purely ideological.
 * 3) Rate of parental and child consent is significantly higher when doctors advocate the treatment and lower when doctors take a more neutral approach.
