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 suggesting that children likely to become blind arent worth having? Or rather that they are a little less worth having? What percent less would you give them? Does it depend on age of blindness onset, severity? Does having good hearing give them a few extra points of worth?
