It’s not necessary but personally if I knew my family had a history of any disabilities I’d never have kids. I know there’s a base level of chance to begin with but being okay with a higher chance, especially if the disability is prevalent enough to be known about, is incredibly selfish.
I don’t think it’s possible to know what you’d do in this situation until you’re in it. Perhaps you’re not keen on having kids period so this was an easy decision for you though?
And you tell your child when they’re suffering from a life long birth defect/disability that you knew there was decent a chance they would end up trapped like that.
I’m sure that will help them feel better and the rest of their life coping will be so much easier!
Family history of disability is not a necessary prerequisite of having a disabled child, though.
They’re probably referring to having a child when it is genetically predisposed to abnormalities due to whatever genetics the parents have.
