Cuold i just say that even when your clear of HD you could always be a carrier
of the disease so if children r on the books there is a test to check the baby
in the early stages of pregnancy that checks for HD

Hi Colleen
I have just read your e-mail with interest, you say that you want children
but won't have any in case you do have H D and do not want to pass it on.
This is something I feel strongly about, I read so many heartrending e-mail's
about all the at risk people who have children and are frightened they may
have passed on H D to them.
Some of their letters make me want to weep, yet some still go ahead on the
off chance that all will be ok.
They put themselves and children through hell because they acted like an
Ostrich, life is not something you can take for granted you have to think of
your
consequences of your actions.
Having said all this please think about the test, after all you may not have
H D and it would be such a shame not to have child, they are of course a joy,
and if you are negative you will be able to enjoy your children knowing that
they are free of H D and you will not be passing it onto yet another poor
generation as there is no cure yet the only way to get rid of H D is NOT pass it
on
anymore.
