How tall is a midget
Midget vs. Dwarf
We've heard about an operation to lengthen an achondroplastic dwarf's legs and arms that can make them a similar height as their peers. Should we consider.
The word midget is considered derogatory and offensive. "Midget" refers to a person who is very short, but normally proportioned. "Dwarf" refers to a person with one of several varieties of a specific genetic condition called dwarfism.
Description:Children with this disorder may grow slowly and puberty may be delayed by several years or indefinitely. Disorders causing dwarfism are often classified by proportionality. Children with dwarfism are particularly vulnerable to teasing and ridicule from classmates. Disproportionate dwarfism describes disorders that cause unusual proportions of the body parts, while proportionate dwarfism results in a generally uniform stunting of the body. Extreme shortness in humans with proportional body parts usually has a hormonal cause, such as growth-hormone deficiency , once called pituitary dwarfism.
