Is There a Doctor in the House?

Over the past couple of days I have been trying to answer a question I had in the post SPC #23: Kalpana One: Could we counteract the lack of gravity on other planets by wearing weights?

It's not going every well, I found a few interesting papers about human development and the need for gravity in order for human to survive, but I feel I'm not painting an accurate picture of the frame of reference. The paper I looked at in the SPC #23 said we needed artificial gravity mainly for childern to develop strongly. That aspect of the argument for artificial gravity I know nothing about. Basically, my BS detector went off on my own post.

So, I'm looking for a doctor or a med student to answer some questions about children and space settlement. I want to find out exactly what the effects are. If you know of anyone, contact me. I'm going to give links to the person who found me the lead and the doctor/med student I interview. Thanks!
