heartlessrobot (01/07/2016) [-] That's one thing I don't get. If you've got a serious, lethal genetic disease that you're guaranteed to pass on, why in the ever living **** would you still have children?

greyhoundfd (01/08/2016) [-] Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive disorder, which means that there is no guarantee that you can actually transfer the disease to your children. New genetic testing standards will certainly reduce the chances that he'll pass it on, if he's sure to screen both himself and his partner. In addition, his parents are likely both heterozygous recessive, which means that there is a 25% chance he will never pass on the disorder.

Most people who have these genetic disorders usually have no idea that they have it and go on through out their lives having no difference to a healthy person.

and also some genetic disorders will be just a random mutation even though both parents are just fine.

genetic disorders are very rare with cystic fibrosis there's 1 in 4 chance of you being affected hopefully he tested himself and his children of being a carrier or affected. Then treated it at the young age before it got worse.

I mean OP is the sibling of the deceased, and they've live at least long enough to learn to use funnyjunk. One in a million chance is still better than no chance at all.
