If i had a disease that could be genetically passed on i wouldn't put my child through what i'm going through. It'd be physically and emotionally wearing on them, so I'd adopt most likely I'm not so prideful as to have my genes passed on haha

i dont think it's negligent nor stupid
if a couple wants to bear a child of their own, there are many other factors to endure and take responsibility for. A 'normal' life for you and I may not be what is normal for someone with genetic flaws.
If my parents raised me with facts that my life will very possibly end sooner than the average persons life, yes, it would be hard to deal with but i'd be greatful for having parents who love me for giving me the chance at the life i would or could have had.


I can empathize with you and with the desire to have children of you're own...but your question was that is was a life threatening genetic disease..if you are willing to go through possible struggles and can provide the best life for said child by all means bring a child into this world and let the child know love....

it'd depend on the problem
i would never put another through some disease that takes struggles and alot of medical attention for.
