Until recently GH has been scarce, extracted from the pea-sized pituitary glands of cadavers. Now, however, Genentech, Inc. can manufacture it with recombinant DNA techniques, so there’s “plenty.” The treatments do cost $15,000 a year, of course, and usually they have to be administered for five years to make a difference, but GH is available.“We don’t know what to do,” the physician went on
