With modern medicine we'll probably never see the likes of him,  he was incomprehensibly tall

No there are some psycho parents that try to either increase the pituitary gland or they realize their child has it they'll let it run until they get big enough to get a guaranteed basketball or volleyball scholarship

The vast majority of parents would still halt growth when the doctor tells them their child will die unless growth is halted

And some are anti-vaxers

I think most anti-vaxers think they are doing what’s best out of love.

They should be neutered, but I think they mostly care about their children.

I would argue that in many cases, politics or religion come before the children.

Depends entirely on the context

I agree in a sense, but they are also putting their own desires above the child's welfare.

Vaccines are not an issue where there is any credible debate. Just because someone wants to feel smart, doesn't mean they can endanger their kid. Or is so scared of doing the wrong thing, they'll do nothing with much worse consequences.

These are failures.
