Contemplating chronic health problems and procreation…

Q: Should people with chronic health problems have kids?

Some possible answers:

  • Yes, there’s a chance science might be able to fix the genetic health problems of their offspring.  They should “go for it!”
  • Yes, they have a right to know the joys of childrearing like everyone else out there.
  • No, that puts unnecessary health burdens on their potential kids.
  • No, such people are purposefully being selfish with no regard for the potential child’s future.
  • [Other analyses here]

So, what do you think?  How do you see/evaluate such a scenario?
