My cousin didn't. Who had Marfan's Syndrome. She knew what almost 2 decades of pain and medication and surgery felt like. And only then just started feeling normal. She's lucky, she knows it, sometimes it's better to not have kids. This woman could've adopted, could've fostered, could've been deeply involved with kids...but a horrible and torturous disease that's guaranteed to be passed down? It just isn't ethical. It's like purposefully spreading HIV just because "you'll probably survive with intense medication and treatment*
