Interesting thay you bring up the aspect of having children vs not having children seen in the light of passing on BP-genes. My family certainly have a bit of BP-genetics, and we have had no problem procreating! The desire to have children seems to override the concern for passing on the illness to the next generation. (I have a large family, and a lot of nieces, nephews and two of my sisters are grandmothers as well). I have a child as well, did not know about my family-history when I had my son, but I think I still would have had him had I known. It is an interesting issue.
