@alyssasarehott247 . . . Ignorance in it's true form.

@starpojke I get what your saying here. A lot of people have no idea it run's in the family. I hate it when people make assumptions on a situation they know nothing about.

@konfolut 1 in 3 aren't aware they have huntingtons or that it runs in the family. So I would think very carefully before you throw your opinions out like that. Clearly that seminar wasn't that great. Let's hope you've educated yourself better in the time frame that has elapsed.

Regarding families with HD having children: My father emigrated from Europe in the 1920s and I never met any of his relatives. He became symptomatic in his 60s and wasn't diagnosed until in his 70s. By then I had five children, completely unaware of HD or the potential impact on myself or my children. I suspect this is a relatively common situation in the US. Every family situation is different. Judgmental comments almost always indicate ignorance and/or misplaced malice.

I know 35 cases off the top of my head just in the united states and that doesnt even touch those I know of having this disease as a child.
