								yah.  apparently the get taller surgery started in Russian (hmm?  average Russian are tall I'd say) but quite a bit of Chinese opted to get surgery.  apparently some 3000's people have tried the surgery but the success rate is low.  i remember watching a documentary on a China dude and he absolutely couldn't get a wife because he was shorter than 5'.  so he went through the pain and expense to do it and he got himself a wife eventually.
the first time i saw this procedure was actually in the movie Gattaca...  where Vincent needed to increase his height to match Jerome.  one of my favorite sci-fi's of all time.
