Demo: Carrier Status: Pros & Cons

Reasons to learn results

Family Planning

  • If I am a carrier, when I decide to have a child, my spouse/partner can get tested too. Then we will know if we are at risk for having children with the condition.
  • Knowing this information could help me make reproductive or medical decisions.

General

  • I am curious and it is information that would be interesting to know.
  • I want to have the information to plan for the future.

Reasons not to learn results

  • I would not do anything with this information anyway.
  • Carrier status results would not mean that I have the disease, so the results would not really affect me.
  • I do not want to have to talk about this with my family.
  • There is nothing I can do about it. I do not want to know if I am a carrier.
  • It will not make any difference.
