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?
