The hormone can be used to treat people with deficiencies, and this method allows for quick, simple culturing of the compound.

yes. it is determined by your body structure. Some people (naturally) have large bodies they are able to put on more muscle mass then others. You will hit a point where you cannot put anymore muscle (that's when bodybuildiers start to hit HGH. Most people (medium body) have 17 inch limit on biceps. Technically you cannot grow it any bigger then 17 inches.

nope, the growth plates fuse during the final stages of puberty. HGH is expensive it would run a good $ 1,500-2,000 a month to use dosages high enough to cause skeletal growth

Quoted from the source cited below:
"Side effects in adults may include extreme aggression, malaise, dry mouth. There is theoretical concern that GH treatment may increase the risks of diabetes, especially in those with other predispositions treated with higher doses. It is pointed out, however, that diabetes is a disease that develops over perhaps 30 or 40 years of poor eating habits, and the most likely cause of diabetes is the poor nutrition which the patient had prior to the use of growth hormone. One survey of adults who had been treated with replacement cadaver GH (which has not been used anywhere in the world, since 1985) during childhood showed a mildly increased incidence of colon cancer, but linkage with the GH treatment was not established"
Quoted from the second source, which lists additional side effects:
"Some of the side effects reportedly seen in previously healthy mature patients after taking HGH include:
* Edema (retention of fluids) in extremities
* Arthralgia (joint pain)
* Carpal tunnel syndrome
* Hypertension
* Diabetes and other glucose metabolism imbalances
* Gynecomastia (enlargement of male mammary glands)
Chronic use of HGH is not well studied, except when used in children for acute growth deficiencies. A long term increase in colon cancer and Hodgkin's Disease has been observed in these cases."
The third source contains additional symptoms, as well, though notes that they are, overall, incredibly rare.

its bad in the sense that once you stop using it, all the effects will wear off
so you can get huge and build muscle, but once you stop taking the HGH the muscles will disappear and turn into flab
so basically if you want to keep the effects you will need to take it practically forever
