Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

As someone currently 6' tall, I'd be closer to 8' in my current perspective. So that would be less of a change.
However, I already smash my head on a lot of things, so that would be a disincentive unless the world was build for people that tall. But if we're readjusting the world to accomodate my new height, then it could also accommodate 3' tall better. So the hypothetical argument is moot.
My heart would last longer and I'd have a healthier life at 3' tall. But there is a psychology to height, so it could probably be a drawback there unless everyone was 3' tall. And now we're back to the hypothetical rework of the entire world.
I'll take 8 and make millions playing sports. Then use my millions, amputate my legs, and spend the rest of my life in zero gravity space hotels where legs don't matter ;)
Exactly. I'm 6'2, going to 8 feet is less than a 2 foot difference, meanwhile down to 3 feet is 3 feet plus.
For a 5 foot person the answer may be different though
