Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet

to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 37 to 41.

Until recently, growth hormone could only be obtained from the pituitary glands of dead

people. This substance is used to treat children who did not produce enough of their own

growth hormone and who would, therefore, grow up as dwarfs. The natural product was

taken off the market after it was linked to a brain disease which attacked some of the

children undergoing treatment with it. But now, a new synthetic growth hormone has

been developed which, it is claimed, has no dangerous side effects. The new drug is

called "Somatrem" and can be produced in unlimited quantities.

For children who are deficient in their own growth hormone, Somatrem is an important

medical advance. The problem is that the drug may be abused by

people

who are not

medically in need of its benefits. For example, athletes may take the drug in the belief

that it will improve their physique and physical performance. Parents may want to obtain

the drug for their children who are only marginally under average height. For such

reasons, experts are recommending that registers be kept of Somatrem

recipients. The

implications of the use of Somatrem must be thoroughly understood before widespread

distribution of the drug is undertaken.
