Can I marry a sickler?

Published by

My genotype is AS and I am in love with a beautiful woman with the SS genotype. Although I am aware that if I marry the lady I run the chance of giving birth to an SS child, I still want to marry her. Kindly advise me.

Even though you love the woman, it is not advisable to marry each other because, as you also know, you have a high chance of giving birth to an SS child. In view of the attendant emotional and physical stress of bringing up such a child, it will not be advisable for both of you to marry each other.
