Can we have an SS child?

Published by

My fiance and I are both AS. What is the likelihood of having an SS child?
Solomon (by SMS)

The possibility of having an “SS” child is 1 of every 4 children born (AA, AS, AS, SS). Although it is possible for you to know the genotype of the unborn child before three months of pregnancy for the purposes of terminating such a pregnancy if it is SS, law and ethics regarding abortion are still fundamental issues. While the final decision remains yours, the most sensible thing will be for you not to have any child but rather, go the adoption route.
