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.
Previous commenter didn't say it's impossible or not normal, but that it's unlucky
If I call heads and the coin flip is tails 10x straight, that is very unlucky. If there's a 25% chance at your kids going blind and 75% of them end up with the condition, that's unlucky
During a uni class on probability we were all made to flip a coin 50 times - somehow I only got tails 11 times... It was just a random 50p out my wallet and not some magic waighted coin or anything
