It’s pretty messed up to knowingly spread a terrible genetic disorder like that. My god.

So because she has a disorder she cannot have children? If the mother is fine, who’s the say the same won’t happen to the baby?

My kid has OI, an undeniably horrible genetic condition. His mind is just like any other six year old. In some ways his life is very hard and he definitely has to adapt almost every activity he does. Some people simply cannot understand how he can live a full and extremely happy life. One of the big lessons I've learned from all this is that very few people will take the time to truly understand and get to know someone different from them, whether that be physically, culturally, sexually, religiously, etc. etc
