That's understandable. I typically don't like the word selfish (because it's so often misused), but I don't know how else to describe people who let their desire for parenthood supersede the well-being of their hypothetical children.

Honestly, I wish more young people asked themselves these questions before deciding whether or not to procreate. And I wish more would decline to do so because of the risk of hereditary illnesses. I've been called a "Nazi" for expressing this opinion, but whatever. I just don't want to see anyone suffer needlessly - especially if that suffering is preventable to begin with.

But that's a rant for another day and thread!

I'm glad my response was helpful to you.
