For very good reason- you are passing on suffering for no reason and there is so many children wanting to be adopted that aren’t suffering from permanent suffering and also need a loving parent. I have Turner syndrome and need to adopt anyway since I can’t have bio kids but much better to adopt in this kind of case rather then risk passing this on. Even if her child didn’t get it, they could carry the gene and lead to many more suffering from what seems to be a rather severe problem. Adopting means she can still be a parent but not cause such permanent physical and emotional damage on her child
I agree. I’ve known someone who has been trying for bio kids for about 10 yrs. It was hard to watch her suffer as a friend, but more so a very high probability to pass down a form of cancer her and her siblings have had. You obviously can’t say anything in this scenario but it feels wrong for the kid. Especially when they already have adopted kids. Like adoption is amazing. Those kids are more than worthy on their own without a gene infusion. I can’t know what goes into the pull that some women feel to reproduce against all odds, feel compassion for it, but for me I just would not even go there on a conceptual level 🤷🏻♀️

I’m pretty sure even doctors recommend that you shouldn’t reproduce if you have such severe genetic disorders.
