Will you marry your partner even though your genotype is incompatible with theirs?
When I was 9years old, My Mum told I and my Sis a sympathetic story of someone she knew back then, This Someone is a Friend of hers who got married to her husband now against many advise not to, The white missionary doctor then urge them to do a blood test which they grudgingly obliged to. The Doctor found out that they are AS, both of them, he explained the danger if they do but they went ahead and get married. They had their first child, SS who later died, the second, still alive but they spend all their life savings to keep her alive and then the third, fortunately a boy, AA. Love is something nobody can control, they know the danger of what they are doing yet they go on with it
Back to the question, Genotype-AA, AS, AC, SC, SS. In today's world, Nobody would want to marry someone whose genotype doesn't match theirs for alot of reasons;
1. They are putting their future at stake
2. Unless they won't want to give birth, they are putting the lives of the children at a greater risk. Imagine a AS and SC getting married with the thought of "I love her" "I love him" that's total bullshit. Cuz when they have 3 sickle cell Children, what is 3, let me say One. The so called love and affection they once had would diminish cuz it will be a case of "I shouldn't have married you" I've seen couples after giving birth to their first child, an SS , they started having issues and their once yummy yummy love becomes sour
The simple truth is I cannot marry someone that I know their genotype isn't compatible with mine. There's always a perfect match for everyone and the hurt, heartbreak will definitely roll over.
You just let go to save yourself from future trauma and biggest heartbreak!
Wooow.... Great addition miz_inu. Nice contribution ✌️
I think the question is not if one can marry someone whose genotype is opposed to one's genotype especially in a way that can cause harm to their unborn kids, but the question is as regards to one's beliefs, faith and views of life, but it is unwise to make a regrettable decision, however if your faith can be strong to prove that love covers everything,fine, and if otherwise one should not make such decisions, especially considering the financial aspect and accessibility to available medical resources if such decision would bring medical problems in the future.
I've seen people of different genotype marry, AS and AS and they never had AS.
