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.^[1] They have stopped using DES but the practice of prescribing hormones to stop girls from growing taller has continued.

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