After my brothers death the majority of my family agreed to an autopsy. Out of this the ones that done the autopsy have come up with a maybe? The maybe is that P.D runs in the family on my mother’s side. The out come may be that the women in the family may be the carries and the males may be the one’s that to get P.D.

As we all know there is no cure for P.D YET???.

Some members of my family think this is a good thing. I do not. The reason being is: if there is a gene that can tell your children MIGHT carry the GENE that Might cause P.D. WHY do they need to worry them now at the age of 15 to 20? What about Down’s or Cancer or God knows what. Do people stop from having a family because they might be a carrier?

I have not told my children any of this Should I, or am I being selfish.

My brother’s life was a good life. It was HIS life, not the kind of life that we all might have chosen but it was HIS life. And god knows we all want a better life.

As I have said before there are 2 of my children shown signs of P.D . There is no signs as yet in the rest of my families children, so should I tell my children that they may have a child with P.D

SHOULD WE TELL OUR CHILDREN THERE MIGHT BE A CHANGE OF THEM BEING CARRIERS.

My thinking is Who are we to make designer baby’s or should I be thinking WE should Make designer BABYS????????????????????????////////////////

Sorry I should have said to those who do not know. my unle and two brothers had P.D

hi biddy im very sorry to hear about your pridicament i to had the gene testing done to see if it can be passed on ,thank god mine was negative.I think the question of you telling the childre is question only you yourself can answer Ask yourself Would you at there age want to know youself. DO they need to know, children of that age are more intrested in going out and the latest treands.Do we really need to burden them with what will be a life changing event. they will need to know evenualty, thats for sure. but when only you as there parent can answer p.s. if my test had come back possative i would have left it to the last moment to tell mine . mine is only one school of thought im sure there are others view pionts . i hope you find the answer your looking for but as most parents im sure you will . please take care and i wish you good health and happiness god bless jd
