CAN YOU MARRY A SICKLER[SS]?
A colleague of mine who just got married has just been admitted to hospital. His new spouse who knew all the while that he has sickle cell blood genotype agreed to the marriage when she herself is a carrier[AS]. The problem is that I doubt if they would ever give birth to any health child in their life. The best they would have is AS. She has agreed to be with him throughout any crisis period.
The genetic proof is that if AA marries AA, they should feel free. If AA marries AS, there is no problem also as they would be having AA and AS at worse[which is even OK]. AS and AS are advised not to marry each other while SS are advised not to marry at all!
Despite the fact the people have been repeatedly warned that this inherited blood abnormality should be avoided for couples to enjoy their lives, people-even the educated-still go ahead to marry for love. I want to know what my colleagues in this intellectual platform feel about love and sickle cell, can you marry an SS? or fellow AS if you are AS? .

What will now be the gain of the marriage if they give birth to unhealth child,spending their money for survival,that is ignorance.

I don't think I have enough faith to go into such marriage. But for those who have enough faith to carry them through, they can go ahead.

AA can marry SS or AS, no problem but it is not advisable for SS to marry SS or AS.

No! I cant. What love ll keep me and my wife going in and out of the hospital and seeing children die out of our own making, if at there is? The love ll gradually fade and we ll start trading blames.

I will discourage anyone who wants to, but as for me. my faith cannot carry me through the ordeal. Therefore, I will not attempt that.

YES! I can knowing fully well if it is the will of God. with that, i know that he will be healed. And if our first two children are not AS then we will stop making babes. which will keep us on a better scale. NOTE; Gods will is sure and he breaks every earthly protocols.

Melvin, you dont have to deceive urself and the girl. you need to opt out of this relationship. by the way, are you AA or AS because i know you are definitely not SS? If you are AA, maybe you 'may' go on with the marriage but dont even think about it if you are AS!
