I can see some not giving a F about it......okay o!

I pray some of you won't spend all ur life-savings looking after a child among children......

Unless miracle, but miracle is also avoiding, and not solving!

Love could be blind at a point when its deep, so its better the two go for test when the love is still an embryo!

Well I am the man marrying my wife bro and not society. I will be the one who is affected directly by whatever our decisions and not society so why should I allow society decide what I should do and who I marry?

Think about it brother. If you keep pleasing society, you will lose your sef to it and become another statistic
when i say society i actually mean medical services, social services, and governmental programs to support special needs children....its a difficult world if you have to do it on ur own....but you are right...ultimately its up to you...but if i was living in Nigeria, genotype would be more important then marriage it self....

I keep missing the point ooo. What has this being Africa have to do with anything? At the end of everything, it comes down to the husband and the wife making a decision. How does it condern the continent?
ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I despise it when people say "This is Africa" or "This is Nigeria". It's as if you're saying because we're Nigerians/Africans we can't rise above mediocrity or misinformation/lack of information.

Nigerians should ask themselves, "would I rather give birth to an SS carrier or adopt a child who's future looks relatively healthy and pain-free?" Like Mynd44, having children shouldn't be do or die, not when the odds are against you.[/size]
Good questions! Now you'll agree with me that we marry here with the expectations of having children. Every African mother or father wants to have a child of his/her own.
We see adoption of child here as a show of impotency. No matter the height of love, you can't tell your African lover (even if he's ready to kill himself for you) that you don't have any intention of having children.
Mbanu, if him mama no oust you out, na umunna go find one Nneka wey dey for village wey go give you seven, and the man won't object.
That word, "love of my life"? Forget it. It does not exist. It means when that supposed love of your life breaks your heart, you then terminate your life. Believe you me, 95% Africans can't kill themselves for a lover. There are many fishes in the river now.

Re: How Important Is Genotype In A Relationship by ddeola: 5:45am On Mar 05, 2013
Make I try. There are AA,AS and SS
1. If you are AA, you can marry anyone with any of the 3 genotype
2. If you are AS, its better to marry someone with AA, marrying AS is risky and SS is not ok at all
3. If you are SS, its better to marry someone with AA only, marrying AS or SS in crazy

The whole idea is to avoid giving birth to children with the SS genotype (children with sickle cell also called sicklers), this is because of the pains these guys go through and the likelihood of them dying before age 17 or so. I have experienced this and I can tell you,I don't pray for my enemy to have a child with SS. These kids inherited it from their parents but their lives are full of excruciating pains during each crisis that you can't prevent or even stop. Medications only help them cope with the pain for as long as it will last.This can be AVOIDED.
1. AA vs AA = 0% probability of SS, 0% probability of AS(carriers)
2. AA vs AS = 0% probability of SS, 50% probability of AS(carriers)
3. AA vs SS = 0% probability of SS, 100% probability of AS(carriers)
4. AS vs AS = 25% probability of SS, 50% probability of AS(carriers)
5. SS vs SS = 100% probability of SS, 0% probability of AS(carriers)
Note: The probabilities indicated above applies for each conception or issue as the case may be.It is possible that if AA marries AS that all their children will be AS,likewise it is possible that if AS marries AS,all their children will be SS.It's important you know your genotype and the genotype of the person you want to marry so that you will know what you are getting into.

At the first bolded. This is the secong time on this thread someone is using the word impotency and saying the society will view someone as that just cos you choose adoption. The same society which at one point killed off twins, and believed in female genital mutilation right? Which means at some point, society's view might be hogwash and full of bullcrap right.
Do what makes you happy and forget what society thinks and view. You are here to live YOUR LIFE and I intend to do just that. And if marrying because I love my wife and I am willing to adopt so I can be with her or not have kids at all makes me happy, hell sign me up for the happiness commitee

At the second bolded, who is talking about dying for anyone here? Did anyone mention doing this cos of someone else? And where did you get that 95% your backyard right?

good write up but we also have AC and CC genotypes C is also a carrier like S but less severe. AS v AS has a 50% chance of producing AS.

The joy of being married for a woman is great but the Joy of having a baby is astronomical to both parent.

Am still surprised this issue of AS/AS relationship is a big deal to many ppl. There is prenatal diagnosis now done in LUTH, pathcare and some oda private labs where d genotype of d baby can be checked btw 9-12wks of pregnancy and what u decide to do thereafter is left to u. This jst requires planning.

[size=13pt]That's a solution, but a very controversial one. If it's discovered that the embryo is of SS, then what? Abort it right? And now we have another argument on our hands. I no dey argue. This is an option, but it's one a lot of people will be hesitant to try.[/size]
Re: How Important Is Genotype In A Relationship by Sobrit(m): 8:32am On Mar 05, 2013
It's unfortunate we have allowed ourselves to be cased in stereotyped manner in matters of love, relationship and marriage. Now, everyone must think and act alike and anything outside this is rebuffed and you are tagged either impotent or the like. Now i know why they say we re free but every day in chains. My point is, i go with Ogugua and mynd 44. I believe in the evolving world and with time, we will all see when we look back at d injustice, diservice, stu/pidity we have done in those days when this darkness held sway.
