How are eunuch born?
Usually a person described as a "eunuch" is someone who has been deliberately castrated - ie. they are not born, they are made. The castration usually takes place at a young age. There are a variety of birth defects that may leave a baby boy born without testicles or with testicles that are damaged or otherwise abnormal. These people are generally not considered to be eunuchs. Eunuchs (deliberately castrated males) have played important roles in history. The Chinese, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and other Empires all used them as high-ranking servants and advisors. Some eunuchs achieved very senior roles in the bureaucracy. The reason for this special trust of eunuchs is because they were unable to father children, and thus they did not have as much incentive to behave corruptly or to try and overthrow rulers in order to gain lands or positions to pass onto their children. In Europe, children were sometimes castrated so that they would maintain a high-pitched singing voice and a greater vocal range - these are known as "castrati".
Why are eunuchs taller?
Eunuchs were tall due to early castration before puberty. The closure of the epiphyses or bone growth plates are due to the hormone estrogen. In males estrogen is produced by chemically altering the hormone testosterone. Since the Eunuchs were castrated before puberty, they were not producing testosterone and thus had low levels of estrogen. This low level of estrogen meant that the growth plates would not close as early leading to tall growth patterns.

Was the prophet Daniel in the Bible castrated?
Daniel 1:9-12 refers to officers of Babylon who were placed in charge of Daniel and other male Hebrew captives. These officers were mentioned as being in charge of the Eunuchs. The question remains as to whether this was directly a part of these duties or that this was an additional duty as well as them being in charge of the Eunuchs. Since there is no reference to Daniel himself being a Eunuch it would seem that this was probably an additional duty, although the question must remain somewhat open.
