She is SS and over 21 already and am AA, i luv her die, Can i marry her?

Hmm! No comment.

Sure you can..it biologically possible..there is a high possibility that you will have AS children and that will be an advantage because they will be more resistant to mosquitoes attack

Timileyin: She is SS and over 21 already and am AA, i luv her die, Can i marry her?

Don't get it. Are you saying you don't know the meaning of SS or AA or what? As AA,u're free to marry her. Pls stop asking people whether to marry someone you really love or not,it's quite annoying. Common man, follow your heart or who do you think is own your life,your future,as well as what's really good for you.

dont marry her

Emmyk: dont marry her

why not.. She is from South South,he is African American.. Is there anything wrong on dat ??

I think much has been said abt genotype here on NL. SS and AA are very compatible. it means all ur kids will be AS, which means u must insist dt they marry AA, just to avoid havin SS. Wit God all things are possible, put ur faith and trust in God and He wil see u thru.

shut up ya mouth there, so is dey giv birth yo ss now,will u b d one to suffer? U just open ur mouth to talk nonsense

Yes

Only if you can accept the future pains. Enjoy now and suffer later. Your choice!

Why not? SS & AA = AS. Your kids would be genetically stable. Pls do. You have nothing to worry about dear.

Of course u can marry her

so ss are genetically unstable? I no wan hear ur explanation self. You de mental.

blink182: so ss are genetically unstable? I no wan hear ur explanation self. You de mental.

Well,I dont talk to people who have the habit of throwing insults around. Since you've already agreed that you're mental,there's no need answering you.

Wizee: shut up ya mouth there, so is dey giv birth yo ss now,will u b d one to suffer? U just open ur mouth to talk nonsense

Can't you read and understand before commenting? Didn't you see my third sentence?I was only surprised why op still asking whether to marry SS while he was AA which is quite save. And why he was asking people whether to marry someone he really love.

Lemme consult the oracles

U must give birth to at least one ss. So use ur brain and don't produce a child dat will be in pain tru out his or her stay on earth..

you can marry. thou your children would be carriers as in AS but not sick

Wendyslim: U must give birth to at least one ss. So use ur brain and don't produce a child dat will be in pain tru out his or her stay on earth..

Pls lets not be misinformed AA+SS can NOT and wil NOT produce an SS. Lets always get our facts clear b4 uttering any word.

Yes

OP, I believe your question stems from the fact that you have heard all sort of rubish from family & friends.
I cannot ask you to marry her or not (it is your choice). I will only ask you to educate your self about people living with SCD. For references, you can visit the thread below

nairaland.com/1087596/facts-myths-sickle-cell-disease

If you really love the girl, you may follow your heart. Sickle cell is an accident of birth. Just as you did not choose to be born a Nigerian/African or a Male, that is the same way she did not choose to be born a SS.

Please bear it in mind that all your kids will be AS.

O.M.E:
Sure you can..it biologically possible..there is a high possibility that you will have AS children and that will be an advantage because they will be more resistant to mosquitoes attack

where did this fairy tale originate from. im AS and definitely not resistant to malarial parasites.

shut up your mouth there. This is how you people carry negative myths and legends around that make the bulk of people treat us worse than HIV patients.

Ok

zezebabyxoxo: Don't marry her. There is a possibility that you can have an SS child. Since your AA and she's SS the biological odds are AA,AS,AS and SS. Please go and do your research. Needless to say that most SS patients die before they reach 40. If you are ready to raise a SS child without a mother, you are free to go ahead.

Please stop spewing nonsense in a public forum.

Sewiouzly atymz I can't hlp but marvel @ d level of ignorance portrayed by xum pipu on dz forum.....jst to clear d air sha, d best option an SS carrrier could end up with is xum1 with d AA genotype,d chances of both of dem producing children wit either an SS or AA is "very very" minimal..dey're goin to end up with mostly AS carriers whch is quite safe....xum peepz here shuld sewiouuzly get facts before they give any advice!!

Genetically, a SS/AA couple cannot produce a AA OR SS.
All their children will be AS.

You a wicked soul and ignorant. So,the non-SS people cannot died before 40?

These people are human like you,they need hope,love and caring. This is a public forum, please mind what you're saying. If at all you will advise him not to marry her,you have to say it systematically.
