Reply To: Having kids while having a history of genetic disorder

“We must trust that these children are part of Hashem’s plan.”

Does that mean we should allow our kids to play with knives? If ch’v something were to happen it’s all part of Hashem’s plan. Of course not! we have a chiyuv to guard ourselves and our children both after and before they are born. A vast majority of ashkenazi Jews do dor yesharim prior to getting engaged. According to your logic we should abolish testing altogether because what’s supposed to happen will happen. Of course there is hashgacha but we have to do our histadlus too!
