If the parent dies from their condition, would that not (using your argument) mean that someone would have to help to raise said child?


this is really your argument in another light...so how does it look now?
Great point. My mother has MS, I found out 5 years ago I did as well. So even though I am fully functional at this point in my life, should I abstain from having children knowing that in 20 years I may or may not be in a wheelchair, and I may also pass it to my children when there may or may not be a cure at that point in time?
