Is the genetic testing reasonably accessible and affordable?

Also - while I totally understand you not wanting to pressure a partner to undergo testing, would you prefer that they did if they had no problem with it?

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed that comprehensive testing would be that expensive!

And yeah that makes sense... I'm kind of a control freak so I'd want to know, but I realize it's different for everyone! I read through a fair amount of your AMA and had no idea about the vision problems related to albinism - I guess my question with genetic testing is if you knew that your children would be affected, would that be enough for you to look into other options or would you be okay with passing that on?

I hope that's not rude, I'm just very curious!

You make excellent points! I totally agree with the thinking of crossing that bridge when you come to it - it's always impossible to say what you'd do in a hypothetical situation.

Anyway, thanks for the responses! I learned a lot from your AMA, best of luck to you!

Ugh yes. Petland is basically evil.

I’m a vet and see puppies from there all the time that are horribly inbred, lots of health issues, really confused vaccination protocols all for like $2000.
