  The “mom” looks like a dude.

  I think the names, or heights are mixed up. The person on the right in the photo is obviously taller and a man.

  I saw a better picture on another site, and it’s not a man. It’s just a couple of parents who are in denial about an obvious medical condition and who want their son to be “special”.

  Don’t know if that’s a man or a woman, but please, use the international metric system on your posts.

  it’s a woman on the right. the one on the left is a friend holding a normal sized baby. that said, hooray for pituitary disorders!

  A Russian first name and Indian surname. That must be an interesting story.

  And also, Lavoiser -
  I believe this site is based in the US, and most commenters are American or English. We use Imperial units.

  The picture shown is completely unrelated to the story posted here.

  It’s sad that they *want* their son to have a pituitary growth problem that will lead to an enlarged heart and an early death. I bet the child would much rather be normal sized and healthy. Regardless, he’s always going to win the “my parents are taller than your parents” contest with school mates.

  Twerps. These are two adult women. The one on the left is a friend of the tall woman on the right. Yes, that’s a woman, not a really ugly Vulcan.

  Ok, so it seems that the lady on the left is totally unrelated to this story. Would be nice to clear that up a little. =p

  So I take it these people can’t help their condition. They are doing the best they can and want the best for their son. I wish them well. That’s too bad the lady looks masculine. Once again, it’s not her fault. it must be hard for her. I’m sure some people look at her as a monster. sad

  Birth size means little; my own son was 2 feet long at birth.

  Geez, folks! Click the bloody link to the Telegraph and the picture’s caption! The lady on the right (yes, apparently it IS a lady) is the 7′2″ woman. The kid she is holding is her 10 month old monster son.

  The woman on the left and the kid she is holding are normal-sized family friends who are in the picture to provide some sense of scale.

  Even U.S. sites can put the metric measurements in brackets afterwards!

  Anyhoo, I don’t mind myself, but it would make it easier for others to follow.

  Geez, people. Take a pill. If you want it converted into metric, do it yourself! The original article (from Britain) uses inches. Neatorama just posted it as it was written.

  @Ronnie: Birth size may mean little, but this kid is still huge! I don’t think he’s going to “grow out of it”.
