If you had some kind of disorder, would you still have your own kids?

I'm talking about any kind of disorder, like depression, paralysis, anything. If I worded it weirdly, I apologize...but you guys know what i mean.

I have Aspergers and ADHD. I do not plan to have kids. I don't want my kids to be like me.

Not sure, I don't want kids probably until I'm in my 30's.

I don't want kids to begin with. So. Most likely not.

Just because you have a disorder doesn't always mean your children will. Whether or not you should have children should be based on your ability to take care of them, not out of fear that you may give them a physical problem you have. My mother-in-law has asthma but my wife doesn't, for example.

Now, if I had something I KNEW I could pass to my kids then I probably wouldn't have any.

Could you be a bit more specific? The gravity of the disorder would greatly influence my decision based upon my ability to raise kids or if they could inherit via genetics.

I have allergies and Asthma and would have children.

Something serious though, like a genetic disorder, may dissuade me from having children.

Even if I wanted children, which I do not, there is a 25% chance (at the minimum) that they would inherit my heart defect. So no, I would not have children.

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I have depression, anxiety issues and other similar stuff, and I will have my own kids. If I had aids, Hep C, something I could actually FOR SURE pass on to my kids, no. Stuff that can run in families but isn't something you insta-pass on is really not something to worry about. Having diabetes or asthma or any of those things should not stop you from having kids just because of that.thegerg

Probably not. I don't want kids that much anyway, and I'm not going to risk them having a disability.

I want to pass on my good looks. KC_Hokie

Doesn't everybody have a disorder? Nobody's perfect right? :shock:

Yeah I have depression and PTSD.

They're not going to be with me forever, or at least at every moment in my life. Yes, I do plan on having kids.

As long as it isn't a disorder that'll impair my daily functioning by much, then sure, why not?

I can't even begin naming the disroders I know off. Also, my family genes are not bad but I had all the recessive bad genes myself. The only time i will consider on having kids is if I married an incredibly hot wife.

No way in hell would i pump out a sprog. My need to have a kid is not that strong and in my eyes its one of the most selfish things to do. I would never pass on my disgusting genes and make them have to live just so i fill out this silly genetic obligation.

Not when its inside of you. Baby's blood and mother's blood never mix. The only time when there is a risk of having the babies blood in contact with the mother's blood is during delivery. Thats why children can have different blood types than their mothers.

no.not even cause i have aspburgers. i do to much to take that time and i can barly handle dog sh!t let alone a huge human dukie. and i got 2 brothers with a total of like 7 nephews and neices total.really no need

He threw it on the ground. And I also have Ashtma and will hopefully have kids, but that requires a girlfriend at the very least. Preferably a wife.

I don't know. I want kids, but I don't want them to grow. I want them to stay as babies. Then again, I'm 17 and if I say this in the real-world I'll be labeled gay so let me be quiet.

I've got a general anxiety disorder and we've got 3 kids. Of course I didn't know I had it until well after they were born. But sure, if it's easily treatable and there's a fairly small chance that it will get passed on anyway, I'm not gonna worry about it. Even before my anxiety was diagnosed, I would sure have rather been alive than never born.

Bizarre.

^ If I didn't know better, I'd say you've got somewhat of a negative attitude :P
