@spaceghost8995 that's true but it would be interesting to see if he made 10ft. I believe he was still growing an inch or two per year. In the developed world this will never happen again since they can detect it and stop it early.

There was a guy in my high school that had this. He was mean and foul. He seemed to hate everything and everyone. He said the doctors told him he would never stop growing and that he would die young. He was in my gym class. He was not a guy you would want to get on his bad side. Evil. Never found out what happened to him after graduation.

This is really depressing. He died so early. I feel like he would’ve had a better life if doctors were more interested in improving his life, the mobility of his legs. Likely he would have reduced chance of injury, so it’s sad to know a community did not have any interest in providing him a good life. I guess you could blame the family, but this type of knowledge was uncommon. Shame. Rest In Peace my dude. I bet there were quite a few difficult moments. Ain’t much size comparison in Heaven.
