My family has the cystic fibrosis gene - recessive, but when two recessives meet the child is positive for cystic fibrosis.
I will tell these children - 5 so far although two died in agony - that they should cling to their gene, embrace it and share it whenever they can.

My nephew treasures his beautiful daughter Hailey. He also prays every day for a cure to release her from the prison she is locked in -unable to speak or communicate without the help of a digital board. Imagine wanting only to be alone in your little world and constantly being driven out of it by people who insist you communicate. Autism is a vicous disability. It will be understood and eliminated in my niece's life time. I pray she he is helped in the process.
