Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm in a similar situation, did you have kids hoping that there would be a cure by now? Or were you not aware of the 50% chance when you had them?

The average age for Parkinson symptoms is 60 years old. In the year 2070 I would hope we will have an effective treatment.

You can easily live 10 or 20 years after you get it. I think Michael J Fox and Andy Grove have had it for almost 20 years.

I didn't know at that stage. I don't know if it would have influenced me to not have children.
