[quote=Anonymous]Post-Children, DH found out his family has genetic ALS. We don't know whether he has it, but are considering testing. ALS is a horrendous way to die, we have watched several of his family members deal with it. And the genetic form is faster than usual, most likely showing up sometime between 55 and 62. I think I would have still married DH and had kids with him. It isn't the same as a terrible disease that kills you in your teens or twenties. BUT, now that we know, our children will be able to decide whether to use IVF, and make sure their kids don't have the gene. I do wonder what I would have done had we known before. The ethical questions I would have faced. And I wonder what advice I will offer my children, when the time comes.[/quote]
