It is an interesting article and raises some pretty good questions. The part I found interesting (because it is the first I have heard of it) is this one here:
High-dose estrogen was used occasionally in the 1950s and 1960s, mostly on teenage girls whose parents were concerned about the social stigma of being too tall.
The drugs could stop a 5-foot-9 girl from becoming, say, 6 feet tall. But as that stigma has gone out of fashion, so has the treatment, medical ethicists say.
Sounds like an interesting topic. You apparently have to be a member to read the story though.

I am not a member and it comes up perfectly. Hmmm.....
For anyone else having issues with the Tribune, this article (http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21013265-2703,00.html) is very similar and is covering the same person.
