Ok...this is just creepy as hell....looks like something out of a B horror flick

way to absorb the point.

diabetes and Parkinsons certainly can be serious diseases, but not always.

again, it really comes down to personal choice as to how someone wants to weigh risk of in inheritance to desire to be a parent.

Personally, I think this woman made a piss-poor choice, but it's her choice. The only thing genetic counselors and physicians can do for her is give her the best advice they can, as well as the best care (hopefully. of course, all of us paying into insurance are sharing that ridiculous cost )

but try to think for a second: do you think patient x with diabetes or patient y with Parkinsons would have identical lifestyle and birthing considerations that this woman would have?

remember that various treatments exist for all forms of diabetes, as well as Parkinsons, with shit tons of money being pumped into research for these very prevalent diseases every day.

the same can't be said for osteogenesis.

Hell, diet can go a long way to preventing certain types of diabetes from developing, same with heart disease. Try to make that argument with this woman's disease.

I edited above to reflect my disease confusion. Huntingtons is a 50-50 chance of having it, and is 100% fatal. I'm working for a guy whose mother went into a diabetic coma, and never came out. His sister has had part of a leg removed so far from diabetes...
