Did you bother asking him his reason for making that comment before asking if he has sense?
Since you don't know the rationale behind that I am foreced you ask you the same thing you asked him

Mynd_44:
It is being overemphasized. Some women don't want to go through those pains. Some women have been told by the doctors that they won't survive it so are you saying such women are not happy?

Given birth to a child does not bring happiness, it is seeing your child make something of his life that makes you happy

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]I gave an honest opinion. Because it differs with your thoughts doesn't categorize it as deception towards the general public.



@CFCfan, I trust you bobo [/size]

Ngwakwe: You misunderstood me, I regard conjugal biological children as equal to adopted children in all respect.

Both parents are bonded beyond death by a child. As in Until death do us path.

Mynd_44:
Another load of crap. What is the difference between an adopted child and a biological one?

I keep shaking my head at thses people

Mynd_44:
FYI, not everyone who gives birth are actually happy about it which just makes your comment pointless.

Or you have not seen a situation where a MARRIED woman gives birth and is not happy?

sfada:

Touching heart!!!
Kenny you are right, I feel sorry for you.

aadetoyin: Seriously, its extremely important if u intend to marry the person u re dating especially in Nigeria where the medical care services are yet to be the expected standard.
If u do not check out ur genotype and that of ur partner you might end up having a sickle cell carrier in ur family it won't be funny at all.
A lot of trauma is often involved and a lot of money is wasted on medical problems which do not have a definite treatment.

I once had a very close friend that was a sickle cell aneamia carrier, he was always in and out of the hospital, always on medication and he eventually died just as soon as he graduated from the University. He had very high dreams and was one of the best graduating students in his class but we lost him.
As his friend I was traumatized but am sure my pain can never be compared to what his mum must have felt.
For years, we spoke of him like is still alive. And we miss him everyday.
Save urself from pains in the future by checking ur genotype and that of ur partner.

trolling: in the ancient days our people didnt worry about genotype, i wonder y this genotype thing is an issue,ok i know now....

macfarland: If u are AS, go ahead and marry your love who is also AS...No qualms. When she is pregnant, go to hospital for a test at 1 - 2 months of d pregnancy...if it shows d baby is SS...u just terminate the pregnancy. Finish!

nwawuweneonye:
Bros leave this love story. U possibly have not seen people suffering from that ignorance that's why u r preaching this love thing. In n out of hospital?hmm!

kenex4ever: . Dnt tempt thy God over tins u can easily change

Nivlin:

I don't blame you, being a bible believing christian doesn't mean you should ßέ blind †Φ a fault!

Now, since you're a GOOD BIBLE BELIEVING christian, why haven't you quote the bible †Φ overcome all the problems in life? Why haven't you quote the bible to make the world a better and peaceful/ problem-free place? Or tell me, why you haven't quote the bible to convert your genotype to AA?

I really don't blame you, I'm sure you're here to publicize your spirituality, mind you, all you're doing is not spiritual- its called TESTING/daring GOD. Keep it up, and you'll be surprised at the result.

You'll NEVER know what its like to father an SS child which you brought to live a life filled with pain- while you aя̩̥ε busy enjoying your life to its fullest, and keeping your child's life under restriction, cos you weren't sensible enough to avoid it!

Keep believing in Miracles! And keep increasing the number of ignorant Christians raising SS children- cos I'm sure you must have "preached" this your rubbish to some other ignorant christians like you

Mynd_44:
I am very serious oooooo.

stanleybiggie: IMO lf u love some one,none of it matters n if u n ur partner are God fearing people,miracles do happen and u will have a wonderful life with healthy kids!

ESULAALU:


If I must say you have no right to 'condemn' him because of his beliefs, which is what has been the order of the day on this thread.
Its so easy to say blablabla but I tell you what loads of people get married every saturday,do you now go up to each couple to tell them about genotype. What millions of Nigerians are yet to understand is that life is about choices.For the misguided people who claim people with sickle cell dont live more than 21 years,sorry to burst your bubble but then loads of people with sickle cell live loooong enough and have meaningul lives. I mean some of the comments here are so insensitive and I wonder how long Nigerians and me inclusive o,will continue to wallow in such ...infact I am short of words.

The typical Nigerian mentality is to talk talk talk,no action. If we are all so worried about genotype issues,do you REALLY think there isnt a cure for this? How about if we encourage people in the medical field to push for a cure?Do you really think if this was a disease seriously affecting white people,do you think they wouldnt have found a cure?But they cannot be bothered,because we Africans and people of black descent are content to sit and moan and condemn and discourage amongst other things.
Look at America,there has been a couple of instances of people with sickle cell being cured,it might still be like out of the reach of the average person but then,if we had invested the ages and decades of complaints into seeking and pushing for a cure perhaps this would have been eradicated.

Have a look at the medical field and the various near impossible discoveries and then you will realise that you do not need a sootsayer to realise that indeed,nothing is impossible.
People come up with herbs which they claim can cure this disease,well at least make life better but mbanu,trust nigerians to never appreciate what they have.Until the white man will come and snatch it and claim it as their genius invention.

How about the factory that was established in Nigeria which provided succour for people with sickle cell,lots of people testified to the efficacy of the drug.What happened? did the government not frustrate the efforts of the company? Until tomorrow,no one bothered to ask about the factory? But when these same people are ill they will run to Germany and UK to get treatment.Or do you think these rich people do not have kids with sickle cell too? They know the tricks of the book and I can point to almost 8 rich kids with sickle cell married with 2,3,4 kids and well....recieve constant treatment abroad.

What ever happened to Nigeria?Even Ghana provides excellent treatment for people with sickle cell but then what can be said of Nigeria?

My people,please ehn,lets just be considerate sometimes when discussing sensitive issues such as this,there are people living with this condition,you do not expect them to commit suicide or live unproductive lives because they have got it and if anyone decides to get married irrespective of whatever,please ehn,it is their choice,there are worse things than living with sickle cell,worse medical conditions,thank God you have never heard of those or experienced it either.

I rest my case o!

Flytefalls: Make your choices; live under consquence. And elsewhere in the world, humans will continue to be born into poverty, fortune, privilege, neglect, the heat etc. I have seen the suffering of crisis pain (very intimately) but I have also seen the successes of other SS individuals. I can honestly say that although I am AA, I refuse to discard a partner on the basis of his genotype. But I can not judge another woman who would, they are allowed their own reasoning.

rezzy: As big as i am, dnt know my genotype. I just pray we are not both AS.

Cashio: ...have u watched ur sibling lay on the hospital bed 4 weeks without eating,drinking,talking or even defecating...have u been unable to recognise ur sibling because his shape changed due to illness...have u watched a nurse or doctor embarrass u cos they are tired of u and ur child...have u watched ur 3 or 4 kids trooping to hospital day in day out as though its their father's house...have u watcghe a person above 20 yrs shout and cry as though he is been burnt alive...well i guess u haven't but believe me u dont want to experience all these....our parents made the mistake due uncivilization and ignorance so sis never fall a victim to what u already knw the consequencies in da name of luv

Cornel88: How are they equal, bro?
