And as more and more couples seek help for infertility, multiple births
are soaring, for example the birthrate for "supertwins"-- three babies or
more-- jumped 16 percent in 1992.

For a number of years now, children of short stature who don't have enough

Now a study in the New England Medical Journal looks at the widespread use

Some children are deficient in growth hormone and clearly benefit from
replacement therapy.

But a new study from Case Western University in Cleveland finds in a
survey of physicians, that 42-percent of children given growth hormones are not
growth hormone deficient.

psychological impact of being short.
