Mar 19, 2015 at 19:43 comment added DaaaahWhoosh As many of my elders have reminded me, we never stop growing; we just start growing horizontally instead of vertically.

Mar 19, 2015 at 9:14 comment added Mourdos It was also the subject of one of the books that came after ender's game, which focused around bean. I won't say more because of spoilers. I would write an answer but I don't have time, so someone else can feel free to steal this.

Mar 18, 2015 at 22:32 comment added Kromey @SerbanTanasa It looks like Wadlow was not just growing without signs of stopping, but growing faster than normal humans as well. I'd expect someone without the increased rate of growth could survive well past the age of 22.
