Do you mean an Eugenist, or do you mean a geneticist?

About the substance of your posting, it seems to me the bottom line
is: when is a genetically transmitted problem serious enough for
you to consider it better not to have children?  This is of
course a very relative matter.  If you would be suffering from
hemophilia, perhaps you would be happy to be alive even so, hence
you would think, so would your kids?
