Bassette, being unhealthy and having a disease that is virtually 100 percent fatal by age 40 are two different things.

I am not saying anyone doesn't _deserve_ to parent a child, I am saying that a child doesn't deserve a parent who _knows_ she will die before the child is an adult.

As I said, of course tragedies happen despite life's best laid plans, but I think it's wrong (and selfish) to volunteer a child for such losses.
