    "But genetic testing showed that I have a 67 percent chance of passing on the illness"

    Is there a genetic counselor out there who can give an example of how this is possible and/or explain how the math might work out to 67%?

    I am raising my little girl to understand that motherhood is a choice, not an obligation. no one should feel they have to reproduce. I'll never ask her for grandchildren, but I will rejoice with her over every decision that brings her happiness.
