What do you think of people who know they have a dangerous/deadly health problem that is genetic, having kids (while knowing this!)? What about when BOTH parents have that which increases the risk further? Would it be better for them to just adopt?

I have heard so many horror stories of parents that have had multiple deformed and afflicted children full knowing of the potential that they have to pass this down to their offspring. It is unconscionable for a loving parent to put any child into such a risk just because they wanted to fulfill their own selfish ambition to have their own child. There will always be a lot of good orphan babies that a truly loving couple can adopt. Especially after seeing a couple on a TV program: "our first two children have autism but we are quite sure that our third one will turn out all right. We have been praying very hard that this will happen." Well, that's that.

Yes it would, if they were fit to adopt.

Sometimes the parents don't know that they both or one posses a gene that could create a health risk or some form of disease. And I do think it's wrong to have kids if one or both know they can pose a risk, I think it's better to adopt in my opinion. But yet it's their choice, they take the risk. But I think it's wrong to want to bring life into the world knowing there could be a great risk of harm, pain or shortened life span. It's unfair, but it's people's rights.
