Couples with Thalassaemia

A doctor was telling me about thalassaemia today. I am sure many of you dont know what thalassaemia is. Click on the link above and you will understand more. It's sort of an alteration of the blood cell once upon a time where Malaria was causing too may deaths. Some people's blood cell sort of altered itself to survive from the Malaria. The blood cells became smaller in size where the virus could not affect the red blood cell and so it wouldn't burst. People with Thalessaemia will not die of Malaria. But what's negative about this is that two persons with Thalassaemia traits are advised not to have baby together cause 25% chance is that the kid will be a thalessaemia major meaning the kid will not survive over 20 years old of age. There's a cure for that but its not a 100% thing. 50% chance that the baby will be a thalassaemia inheritant and 25% will be normal. Unless the couple would like to take the chance and try their luck, it is really not advisable to do so. Adoption might be the answer to couples with thalasaemia traits. So be careful, people with thalassaemia traits. Ask your partner to go for a blood test before you decide on anything.
