$50,000 per inch?
It must be tough to go through life being really short, and I don't blame parents of very short children for worrying about it. But a hormone treatment for such kids ends up costing $100,000 dollars over five years and only adds two inches or so to their height.
Really, 5'2 vs 5'0 -- doesn't seem like it would be that big a difference in the kid's self-esteem, or the way he/she will be seen by others. It's a waste of money, and a course of daily injections over five years seems to me would REINFORCE the message that your kid's shortness is somehow wrong, making the kid feel even WORSE about having to look up at his/her peers.

Any parent who put their kids through this should have the same stuff shot into the penis of the father...you know, just to see what happens.
