Who would have thought that first video would inspire Pitbull to create music for Aquaman.

Greetings!

My family has this weird pigmentation issue where our knees and legs and a very little patch of white hair in the head where we are lacking any pigment. My family has never ever given any importance to the matter but I am the most affected of us since my belly is affected as well. I and the doctors I recently visited suspect piebaldism.

The thing is my girlfriend and I are starting to think in all seriousness about being parents and I am worried of the implications of getting bigger albino patches and them reaching eyes and ears. You perfectly estated the problems in this thread.

Would you ever consider going through some kind of treatment or process to make sure your descendance would not (i would not like to use suffer but my english is limited) suffer from your condition? Im actually weighting this very very seriously.

Thank you!

Thank you for this answer you gave me. I have met a couple of albino persons but I didnt want to seem rude just saying hello and to start asking questions. You gave me the chance. Thank you again.

When I go back after my hearing and eyes already scheduled test I'll have a better understanding of the matter when asking my doctors about the issue.

I wasnt actually thinking on CRISP on yourself but rather PGP. That is selecting an embryo without albinism and having it implanted in your soon-to-be-mother partner for a normal gestation afterwards. I dont really know if this kind of technique can be applied to albinism or piebaldism (i am guessing they can, since both conditions are well located in human genome) and I dont know either if parents are allowed to use it to avoid any of those conditions on the children. What do you think about this?

Thanks again.
