Why Marry When You Don't know"?

There are many reasons why
people marry, examples are for
love, Money, etc. It is pertinent that
certain facts about your life must be
discussed before you take that bold
step.. One very important one is knowing
your "GENOTYPE".....An AS is not
advised to marry an AS, like wise
someone with SS marrying another
SS. The likelihood of having a child
with SS is a ratio of 1:4 if both of you are AS. Yes, studies and technology
are showing possibilities of
knowing before the baby's arrival,
but for how long. Manage the
anxiety and frustration by doing the
right thing. This is because, at this stage, the love may disappear and
money can't buy an AA or AS child.
Sickle cell disease is still very
common in our society and the best
form of treatment is prevention. Remember, do the right thing and
know your genotype today. Show
love to those with the SS genes
because they go through a lot
emotionally and psychologically. It's
World Sickle Cell Disease Day. Help save a life.. Be the change you want
to see, avoid bringing kids into the
world to suffer or die early.
