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.
