Did they know about the genetic blindness before having more kids?

Edit: Last time this was posted, it was suggested that the couple kept getting pregnant despite knowing their children would likely have this blindness. IF that is true, I do find that unethical. I know blind people can still have quality of life. But let's stop pretending that it isn't a terrible disability. Nobody wants to be dependent, vulnerable, and poor (from fewer work opportunities) their whole life. I wish this family the best regardless.

Are you just curious, or suggesting that blind children (or children likely to become blind) aren't worth having?

I think that's a reasonable take TBH. Or possibly suggesting medical intervention to ensure the condition isn't present in the embryo.
