I don't need to address it, again you already did with your response, if "I" thought it would be wise for someone with my disease. That's just it, that is your decission, but not everyones. I would not have kids having CF myself, but I am not going to tell someone else, I know nothing about their situation that having a child is selfish or even wrong. Just because you have CF does not mean your not going to be around to raise them....and kids are more resiliant than u give them credit for . There are plently of great single parents out there, either by choice or circumstances, that are raising well adjusted children. If we used your logic half the country would not be allowed to reproduce, while it may sound good on the service, and save our government a lot of money, we don't live in China. Everyday there are parents that are taken away from their child. So should no one with children be in the military, because oh my god, when they go away for a year, that child is going to be permently scared and probably always have feelings of insecurities, that their parent may leave them again at anytime.
The world is not perfect, I would rather raise a child that new the reality of my death, than to raise a child that thought I was invincible. I personally experienced this as a child, whose parent was violently murdered, if only they could of had an illness that I knew would cause their death and I had hope for a cure and a chance to tell them goodbye.
