Love, Sickle cell disease and Chorionic villus sampling. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test in which a sample of chorionic villi is removed from the placenta for testing. It’s a form of prenatal diagnosis to determine chromosomal or genetic disorders in the fetus.
That is

Sickle cell disease can be diagnosed in a fetus as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤰" title="Schwangere Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Schwangere Frau">.

when a person with genotype AS marries another with AS.
The probability of getting a child with SS is 1/4.
(NB: the sequence in which this happens can’t be predicted).

Now this is the hard part.(not for everyone).If the chances are 1/4 and there is a possibility of determining the genotype of the fetus as early as 10weeks where appropriate measures can b taken.. should it still be a No No for AS to marry AS ? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
