I don't know AAAA,,this may be more than curiosity...

Don't we all have a right to know our genetics,,where our genes came from,,if we carry a dangerous recessive gene that could be passed forward with unknown results...?

I know that there are cicumstances that may be extremely uncomfortable and cases where the information is simply not available. But if it is available then it is a parents responsibility to offer it to her/his children. Secrets have a way of threading themselves through generations. Once exposed their power to hurt diminishes...

But, of course, this is only what I would do and have done...
