Tall story: Silicon implant adds inches to your height
Rekha | Apr 1 2008

No man is so tall that he never need stretch and none to small that he never need stoop.

I always envied my tall friends and would have asked God to make me taller if at all he asked me to choose a wish. I guess this is the common story among all short people who have been rejected in workplaces just because of their height in spite of qualifying for the job or frustrated in their failed love life. Well, science and technology has grown in leaps and bounds over the years and scientists are finding ways to beat nature at its own game by developing new methods to alter the genetic disposition of a person. Dr. Luis de la Cruz, a surgeon has devised a silicone implant that will make you taller by two inches. But, the catch is that it has to be implanted in the head. An incision is made on the side of the scalp and the silicone is slipped between the skin and the skull. Dr de la Cruz has already carried out the operation on 17 patients. The ninety minute surgery will set you back by $8000. I would rather settle for a 2-inch heeled footwear than let my precious head go under the knife!
