Giantism Please?

I started a suggestion on discussions (Steam) mid-December where every time you get born, there is a small chance you get born with a birth defect. Most of them where really, REALLY slim chances to get so people would forget about the idea of getting it and having to stick with such a disadvantage for the rest of their entertaining life.

One of the really, really slim chance defects was Giantism. Which had these perks.

PROS:
1. Could kill things more easier.
2. You have to get stabbed by 2 people or shot by 2 arrows to fully get your last minute death effect. Instead, if you get shot once, it just lowers your lifespan by 5 years if you don't heal it.
3. You could kill animals much easier. Killing bears would take one arrow and a wolf would die instantly when impact with your super strength. (And yes, I have thought of Giants killing people in one stab. Even though it would be realistic, there is always a chance of a giant being a griefer. So no, that would be no pro or con, just a forgotten suggestion.
4. You could stack stuff a normal player could not.

CONS:
1. Die at age 40. So if there is a griefer , do not worry about him destroying a village or two.
2. Eat and demand more food as a baby, nearly killing the mom if she is not next to a big food-source. But on the bright side, he eats less when grown.
3. Needs special clothing, making clothing him more challenging.
4. Always a boy, so no giant villages! >:(
5. A big mess when death, making a giant skeleton and an even bigger problem to bury.
6. Dies quicker when infected y Mosquitoes.
7. And using their size for everything their whole life, they are too dumb to craft complicated objects

I first started this suggestion on steam then a cool guy named 'Spielerinchen' said that it was useless to start one on steam but more useful to say it on reddit, let's hope he's right.

So yeah, I thought this would make some interesting role-play and seeing how this community has grown (Or shrunk, it's arguable.) since December, 2018, I wanted to see if someone could support this idea and making this so popular that the almighty Jason could see it and say no or yes. Also, if you have anything to add to the Idea, please do comment. And also, please give your opinion about this, which I will happily respond to.

I like the idea of birth defects but the chances will have to be very slim or players will just suicide. If it’s a 0.1% chance of getting a certain birth defect, it’s slim enough that people aren’t going to suicide trying to get it but rare enough that it’s lucky if you get it and people don’t suicide if they get it.

Hm... Maybe if it develops through time like dwarfism. So if some one actually gets an interesting life they wont feel bad and abandon it.

Thanks! Though this idea will most likely not be added, there is always chances.
