Thank you Heather! That is really amazing news to hear:) Do you know
if it works the same way if the its the male who carries the HD gene?
Well, I can't wait to talk to my boyfriend about it! We are both
teachers so I don't know what to say about the expense, but we can
start a fund.  We are both 28 so we have a few years to save.:) Thats
amazing, and thanks again!!

it. They can do prenatal scanning. They give you fertilizer. They
scan to see if they have HD. If they do then they will get rid of the
egg. If they don't then they will keep it. It costs tons of money
though. In Canada here it would cost 10,000 dollars. You are
guaranteed to have one that way...
