@Adetoyin.....A sickle cell carrier is AS, while someone with a Sickle Cell Anemia(SCA) is SS. A carrier does have the side effects or ill health which the SCA has. |

This age has taught that its such an importance compared to the ignorance of the past. I sincerely would love considering it but marriage is actually not for reproduction alone but for selves pleasure and our society and this age clarifies it all but I'd pray even if I'm AS and she is AS that the SS factor die but love is a priority if you can cope with the later adventures. |

It is very IMPORTANT, if you decide to go on all well and good. Things are a bit different now in terms of understanding how to handle crisis and also noticing the trigger signs, but it's a tough choice to make, not just for you but for the children you might bear. My Uncle had a total of 5 out of his 7 kids, 3 of them died. I would say go for counselling at a Sickle Cell Centre so you know the koko. But if na *friend* una just de *friend* e no de mata sha. |

Mr knowitall.: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 7 Likes |

[size=13pt]Do people date to fall in love or do they date to find someone who will impregnate her/he can impregnate? Call me old-fashioned, but I date to fall in love primarily. Sometimes, people fall in love with who isn't 100% ideal or what we expected (most times actually). If the guy I love and wish to spend the rest of my life with is AS, and I find out I'm AS, then so be it. He can't change that and neither can I. My heart belongs with him. I won't abandon that for a guy I probably won't love as much as my AS love. Come to think of it, that would be unfair on the AA guy and unfair to any children we may have that I don't love their father as much as the real love of my life. Children deserve happy parents who love each other, not who happened to be convenient for one another. Also, there's nothing wrong with adopting.[/size] 2 Likes |

I have read many comments here without proper education on this Genotype issue, everyone has right of choice, you don't have to force people to your believe or faith. As Christians and other religions, faiths can never be the same. If you like go ahead and marry the same genotype status with you. But don't expect others to follow your suites. All these born again Christians i hope with faith you guys can also go ahead and marry a medically confirmed HIV/AIDS carrier. My questions now is which genotype status is very free to be married? i don't know much about this as i am not medically inclined. I need factual answer please. I am waiting please. 2 Likes |

SniperInADiaper: There is difference between infertility and having children with SCA, which is mostly caused by having children with a the same AS Genotype status. This incident always result to the deaths of the SCA carriers children dying young or older after going through much blood medical treatments. It has nothing to do with barrenness or infertility . This is my own little understanding from the comments i have read here and heard from other sources too. 1 Like |

Mynd_44: Unfortunately, you're not the only who will be affected by the decision you take. In fact, it's really not about you. For me, it's about the kids you may eventually end up bringing in to this world. Think about the suffering, pain these kids will have to go through. If you've ever lived with an SS kid, you'll know it's not an easy ride. And Mynd, when the wahala starts, the love might fade away. If you guys decide not to have kids, then, that's absolutely FINE but I don't think it's going to be fair on the kids when you could have prevented it from happening. 2 Likes |

huni_naija: Very important if you do not intend on giving birth to sicklers.. However if your genotype is AA and your partner is AS then theirs a less chance of giving birth to sickler children... If you are AS and your partner is AA, you can`t give birth to sickler, sickler is SS and there is no chance of giving birth to a sickler in AA+AS and AA+SS. the only thing is that if you are AA and marry AS, there is probability of giving birth to carriers which is also AS. But AS+AS have the chances of producing both SS and AS as well as AA. |

Most people that will say it does'nt matter watch it they are in a relationship with this option in their hands.They don't want to face reality.Time will tell if they proceed on getting married and bearing children.Indeed ignorance is a disease.Most of our illiterate fore-fathers made this mistake but it should'nt be condone in this modern day 2 Likes |

Eze Promoe: [size=13pt]Thanks for your nice write up. But again, incase you forgot, this is Africa! Inugo?[/size] [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] |

It is imperative that you and your spouse know your genotypes before getting married. One of my closest childhood friend was an SS, and i saw firsthand the pains he went through. He finally passed on at the age of 21. I and my wife went for a test before ourr traditional marriage and were both confirmed to be AA. For those of you professing love as a reason to care less about your genotypes before getting married, at least knowing it will guide you into preparing for the worst if you decide to bring children to the world or going for the adoption option. Of a truth I tell you, ignorance/assumption can be the lowest level of knowledge. 3 Likes |
