The advances of Reproductive Assistance Technologies (ARTs)‚ such as In vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) have established a broad platform for debate‚ which until recently has focused mostly on the moral permissibility of using these technologies for the detection of non-disease genes‚ those which cause a physical or psychological state not associated with disease‚ such as sex and tissue type (Stoller 2008‚ 364).

One article by Toft and Rehan (2014) has opened the idea too using growth hormones to offset those height differences. The way the drug works is that it is released from the pituitary gland into the liver where it releases a insulin-like growth factor which tells the muscles‚ bones‚ and ligaments to grow (Toft and Rehan‚ 2014).
