>What would you do if you found out you would?

There's quite a few big decisions to make, no? Preparing financially, making plans for when you're going to retire or what to do before, whether you want to have kids and put them through this, and so on.

If I found out I had a degenerative disease at the very least I'd opt for an egg or sperm donation and not delay having kids. You probably don't want to be in declining health while they're growing up.

so that any kids produced would have a high probability of having the disease too?

[Barrin92]

no, so that they don't have a high probability of having a disease because I'd not be passing it on. How did you read anything else into that statement?

It could be more clear. Something like "use a donor". "Donation" can go either way (giving or receiving).
