Will HGH make a not deficient person grow taller if their plates are open?

Question by Felix B: Will HGH make a not deficient person grow taller if their plates are open?
If professionally administered Human Growth Hormone, would a young adult (who is not deficient in HGH, but has not reached max potential height and whose growth plates are completely open) grow taller? Please explain either way in a scientific sense.

Thank you

Felix, the scientific answer in this case is maybe. Not a lot of identical twins willing to undergo a blind clinical evaluation of the sort of test required for scientific evidence. Also, a doctor will never know exactly how tall a patient being administered HGH would have grown without the hormone.

Science requires a control and a variable to work in most cases.
