Title: Is there such a thing as torso lengthening?
Post by: Kraken on September 08, 2016, 07:17:15 PM
I put this in the off-topic section as your torso isn't a limb.

Is there any way to make your torso longer?

To my knowledge, no there is not.

And even if there was, would you risk it? There are already so many risks with limb lengthening, I assume the risks would go up exponentially if you were to try and tinker with your spine!

Depends what kind of method they would use.

If we could only recreate growth plates...

Hahaha yeah!! I wish we humans would stop bothering about what's in outer space and how many planets exist and what not, and instead research this!

I mean... the applications for reopening/creating growth plates in bones has HUGE broader applications. It could make LL obsolete and look like torture in comparisons. It could be used to repair bones quicker as well as fix deformities.

Then again we are ways away from that technology at the moment.
