well....you could be carrying the gene for a beneficial characteristic...have you thought of that? have you thought that even if they get the heart disease, they might react to it differently as in give them drive to do more...or whatnot.
Yep. Still not worth it. I imagine a scenario, where my genetic child finds out that I knew everything I knew about my illness, it's inheritability, the high risk of death in adolescence, the restrictions it places on those who manage to survive to adulthood, and conceived them anyway. I knew that they had a high likelihood of suffering as I have suffered, and inflicted it upon them anyway. I can't claim ignorance, as my parents do. They had no idea what was in their genes, no one did, 22 years ago. We've left the topic I want to discuss though, which is responsibility.have you thought of that?
