Sure, every pregnancy is a risk. But you don't need to take <i>unnecessary</i> risks. Having a child without CF won't mean it'll be healthy--although, chances are, the most they'll have are some allergies or glasses--and yet, having a child <i>with</i> CF is imparting it with a virtually...

<blockquote>Quote<br><hr><i>Originally posted by: <b>Anonymous</b></i><br>I can only speak for myself. I feel very strongly about this subject. I would never knowingly take the one in four chance and risk having another child with CF. I would not be able to forgive myself when they started...

(1) For various retarded reasons, I can't even get on the waiting list until I can pay for the transplant. (2) I can't pay UNC for the transplant while living in New York; my only health coverage is NYS Medicaid, which they don't accept. (3) I could *potentially* pay them if I obtained North...

There seems to be some equivocation going on between those who've already led lives with CF, for better or worse, and those that remain potentialities. Would you want to kill a child (or adult) with an illness? No. Would you want to have a child without illness, instead, if you still had the...

Gonna try to move mid-April and get on the waiting list at UNC. Already searching out tons of apartments, and am finished with the evaluation tests (which were performed locally).

Well, that helps us CF-afflicted atheists a ton... I prefer focusing on the demonstrable and verifiable, thank you very much. <i>Carpe diem</i>, and enjoy whatever you hold most dear to the fullest. :-)

As a person with relatively severe lung illness from CF... I agree with the poster who said it's no kind of life to lead. Whatever a person with CF will enjoy, even if he'd say life was all worth it in the end, will be tinged with the knowledge that it would have been so much better without it...

When I was much younger, I once put warm apple juice, in an easily-knocked over cup, on top of the door. Next nurse that walked in... That was probably one of the most mean-spirited pranks I ever pulled. Ha. Later, I stayed unbored by talking on the phone, playing games on my Palm handheld...

CF is a violent curse, not a blessing. I wouldn't wish it on a worst enemy. Whatever peripheral side effects it might correlate with that are okay are completely negligible in comparison to its horrendously debilitating nature. Aside from maybe Alzheimer's disease or infant leukemia, it's about...

Prior to May of last year, when I met the most amazing girl I ever even heard of, I didn't really dwell on it. I had come to believe, with few remaining doubts, that CF would kill me in short order, but by then, with how sick it made me on a constant basis, I was more or less indifferent to the...
