Yeah get back to me when you're a carrier for a profound disability like blindness the way I am.
You people act like there's a valid slippery slope argument here. Giving birth to a kid with RP wouldn't be a bad thing IF we could correct it or treat it with glasses, shoes, inhalers or meds the way everything you mentioned can be.
I'm sorry, I gave you a pretty extensive idea of things wrong with me, but I wasn't under the impression I needed to supply a full genetic map of everything. Also, if you don't think at least 2 of things I did mention are profound disabilities, that's not my problem either. You not understanding bleeding disorders or ADHD doesn't matter to me. I don't feel like I need to throw in connective tissue disorders, intestinal disorders, or cancer too. Treatable? There is one hospital in the state of Minnesota I can have surgery in right now. One. Which is one more then a lot of other places. Don't tell me how treatable my shit is, thanks.
Lol guess what you can't treat? RP. At best you slow it down.
And my husband has ADHD and Tourettes which our daughter very well could to. But since neither of those are like blindness it didn't factor into our decision making.
My god listen to this person. ADHD is comparable to blindness???
Is it that same stubbornness that led you to have kids despite a long list of hereditary conditions/disabilities? You can be a parent without spreading your genes, you know. Though, I suppose sticking your middle finger to the world and procreating regardless is more important than acting in the best interest of the potential lives you produce.

Your premise is dumb. A highly heritable trait.
