The increasing use of human growth hormones

Is the use of Human Growth Hormones (HGH) becoming all too much these days for people of all ages? HGH has been used for quite a while to give a boost to kids who have had trouble physically developing at a normal rate -- but is HGH overused?

When it was found out in the 90s that men taking a six-month course of HGH reduced their body fat by 14.4%, the use of HGH in adults started to become a bit more popular.

It seems that some think adult use of HGH can lead to anti-aging effects. Ah, the eternal fountain of youth pursuit. What do you think? Messing with the natural order of things can lead to...what?
