With those high chances, I think I would forgo having children (as painful as that decision may be). But I would try to put it into perspective. Would I rather have a child knowing that s/he would endure a life of pain and ridicule? Or should I maintain my child-less lifestyle knowing that an innocent life is spared?

NO... unless there was a chance they would be safe.. but it is hard to say if you are not there in that position. It's a very very delicate issue.

If I knew a head of time then no! If I was already pregnant & later informed by the doctor of future complications of the unborn child due to genetic issues then yes, i'd have the baby.

I would definitely not have a child if the condition stood a chance of being seriously debilitating!  I'll be frank.  I am, I guess you would say, too selfish to know that a child was going to require so much time and attention and probably monetary expenditure.  Add to it the suffering of the child, and there just isn't any way I would do it!

It's hard to say for sure, but the bottom line is that I don't trust the medical community with those type of statistics and I would do my own research before making such a decision.
