Well I agree with having genetic tests done if the inheritable diseases you are talking about are life endangering. However if it's something where children could still live a normal life like PKU I wouldn't let it stop me from having kids.

Both of you should talk to your respective doctor's and then maybe consider genetic testing before you make the final decision of whether or not to have children.

I am slowly nearing the age where I have to decide what is the best for my children. I have some family history of a couple of heritable illnesses and so does my soon to be wife. What can I do to make sure that the children have the least probable chance of getting these issues?
