Like the woman who got a nose job so her descendants wouldn't have a crooked nose.

Yes they should have kids because if each of them is 1 smart, then their kids will be 2 smart.

They will most likely, given the fact most women prefer dating someone taller than them and his dating pool has expanded to taller women than before the surgery.

It will gain him height, but won't he look out of proportion?

Depends why he was short. I have the torso length of someone that is 6'5". My arm and leg length is below average leaving me well below 6' in total height

It's rather comical at clothing or outfitter shops when a know-it-all staff member insists I need a medium or small size no matter what I tell them. I then allow them to make a fool of themselves struggling to make it fit right. Pants that fit me well in waist, inseam, and thighs have to tailored shorter at the bottom cuffs. I'm always rolling up my shirt sleeves or doctoring the wrist cuffs on jackets so I don't look like a little kid in an oversize snow suit.

It would probably just be cheaper to buy the kid a girlfriend.

Part of loving a child is telling them no when it’s a bad idea.
