Genotypes and it's effect in society

[mid9tclaw02]

In our society system now before couples come together their do go for test for genotypes and so on  and most times these test comes out negatively affecting them were by the man might be AS and the woman AS too and the result will aromatically disrupt the marriage

But back then our fore father's don't have time to check all this things and there were happily married and giving birth to numerous healthy children is it that things have changed since then or what's wrong your opinions is recommended

[Hispo]

Is not that something which is done only in African countries, so couples can be sure their children won't suffer from adnormalities on their red cells?
This is something which is pretty much unheard of in the American continent, I have never had my blood examined when I have a girlfriend and I have never even suggested any of my girlfriends to get tested to know their genotypes...

It must be kind of weird to live in a society where people pays such amount of attention to genetics of other people. Again, it is something which is not common here.

[Ucy]

Don't marry people that are not meant for you. Before we were born our CREATOR already destined us to be with certain people as husbands and wives, but people try to marry (or marry) someone else or at the wrong time. Always wait for the right person and the right time.
Our CREATOR's Will rather than human will should always prevail.


At the right time a compatible partner would be found.

You have to identify your romantical partner by their smell, smile, look of their eyes, silhouette and the bright on their skin. That is the first step, the front door. Then you go to the next step: the conversation. If there is intellectual attraction and you have interest for the same subjects, you can go deeper, reaching to the last stage, where you will find out if there is moral attraction as well, that is, if you share the same values, principles and beliefs.

If there is physical, intellectual and moral attraction, it's all good, and you have found someone who matches you. Tests are important just in case you are going to plan on having children, so you may want to check first if there are any genetic incompatibilities.

Just like you said, it was fore fathers right?, which means it was all in the past before the internet. It did happen, but you didn't hear about them. It was not common like pandemic or something, so there was no way it even made the headlines that much. Nothing has changed much as far as Genotype is concerned. The risk between AS-AS is still happening. Though, I'm not completely sure of how they managed those issues at that time, but I feel it all happened.

Even in our today world, people don't take it seriously until when they are about to get married. Not sure why they have to date for long, only to end up not getting married as a result of their negligence for not doing the needful at the beginning. It is always advisable for everyone to know their genotype.

What?
Do you mean that you haven't tested to know your genotype? and even people around you are not so scared of it?
Who knows if this genotype of a thing was another propaganda brought to Africans to weaken us.
Regarding the question of OP. Our forefathers had solutions to every problems and including the genotype related ones. But they made us forget about their solutions and embraced and believed nonsense.

throughout history we did not rely on gene testing. we just lived based on evolution. whereby yes families did produce offspring with disabilities, or good aesthetics/abilities.. whereby the lineage of a families ancestry becomes weak or strong based on natural selection. we dont live in the dystopian future of the movie 'gattaca', where people go to labs to do compatibility checks prior to dating.. in the real world usually people base compatibility based on communicating and observing each other and making decisions based on if they share the same interests in food, music, politics, etc.. aka dating

genetic testing was not some old tradition.. because gene testing is relatively new tech compared to history, also in romance, love and relationships, people usually just meet at a bar/cafe, talk, date and then consummate.. and let the dice roll as to how their children turn out

Nothing has really changed, this genotype of a thing is mostly done by people who have acquired some certain level of education in the society and they think it's necessary for them to do this genotype. If you check through the African society today many people are still getting married without any genotype testing and yet they are producing healthy children. For me as an educated person I did went for genotype test with my partner for us to be sure of things so we can avoid certain things that may happen in the future.

[Accardo]

Genotype tests has ruined relationships in Africa, and before any religious wedding the priests ask for the test to clarify if both friends are eligible to marry and bear children that'll be SS free. In my conversation with a medical student, she mentioned that the kids may not come out as SS for As+As people, depending on the number of children they wish to have, if they reproduce 2 kids all of their genotypes may be AA and AS. To curb the risks, people with such genotypes are not always allowed to marry. I've seen people cry over this after going through the lap test in a hospital. Pathetic.

Of course we don't practice such in our country it will actually make people to be scared of having a partner it causes fear

Genotypes is the major reason why some couples go through allot in the society today because those couples that failed to understand that before you can marry your partner that there is needs to run blood test by both partners know be able to know or identify if actually the both partners are good to marry in other to avoid bringing children that is going to suffer till they die, if actually some partners are taking the seriousness of knowing there Genotypes before marriage it will surely help in the society by reducing the rate in which abnormal childrens in the society, which will be leaving in pains for the rest of their life, so if by preventure that government can make this Genotypes deems for every couples before marriage will be a better solution to the society.

actually is a good thing for couples to check there genotype but the fear of loosing each other is the problem and further the government should make it free for citizens to know there various genotype

Information they said is power and it brings positive changes, and for those that are not informed of course they are deformed it only takes luck and chances for couples to produce healthy children as you said without the examination of a genotype test but however, for those of that are educated it is very much to be very sure about this to avoid ignorantly doing things that we will regret later, I have seen couple passing ignorantly passing through a lot as a result of this, they can even go to the extend of saying that their problems is witchcrafts when it is not, honestly it is good that we do the needful because it is necessary or to be seen as a necessity.

No, that is not a thing here, nobody does that here in Latin America. People get married and have children and never get tested about their genotype, u less there is a very harmful hereditary condition or something like that, which is very obvious and needs to be taken care. I have heard it is something which is common in Africa, but here it is something pretty much rare, nobody pays attention to it and there is no reason to do so, here people pay attention to personally, career paths and the way others look, one does not need a laboratory test in order to know one can have children with a specific woman or not. It would be weird to have something like it introduced here.

[El_Tammy]

That's a very thought-provoking question that puts a fine point on how we have changed as a society. It's not that things are "wrong," or that things have changed fundamentally in a biological sense, but the difference is a combination of knowledge and choice (decision).
When our grandparents generation married, there were no genetic tests. When two people with an AS genotype married, they had children and took their chances. Unfortunately, many of those children ended up having an SS genotype, and many of those sick children died (some before they made it past their childhood). These were very painful deaths and were often just accepted as a normal part of life when no one knew for sure why.

Today, we now have the medical science to explain what happened. Now, we are able to predict if there is a certain risk. Genotype testing isn't about breaking up a marriage; it about preventing a lifetime of suffering for a child and it is about making a responsible choice as a couple about their family.

For not having those testing equipment do you think that if they marry people whom there blood does not match it will not affect there offspring? Or do you also think there was no Sickle cell person in those days?, this is a natural medical issues that always manifest when people began to have an offspring, actually alot of persons do not even no they have such genotype until they give birth and see that they have a child that has the body of a Sickle cell person before they would no so is very important knowing what your genotype is, although I believe that if a man or woman does not have any related S on there genotype there is no need for the other person to check in terms of marriage assessment.

Will you rather advise intending couples to go ahead with their marriage when their genotype is not compatible, I think for me the answer is no, so I think genotype text is saving marriages that would've been separated in the future, although emotions might come based on the love that has existed between two persons but it is better earlier than later, definitely partners we feel bad if they find out that they can't maaru due to the fact that there genotype isn't a match but what should be done has to be done as far as it has to do with lifetime sometime journey.

In the olden days was the manual technology using microscope to detect ones blood group which technology wasn't as advanced as it's in this days.
Bearing unhealthy children such as the sickle cell didn't start in this modern days either rather and since there had come the modern technology and we're also living in the advance era with more educational personalities, we've found it necessary to avoid the accidental coalition where unmatched genotype meets in the state of partnership or marriage that may result to producing unhealthy offsprings. This doesn't mean that the genotype medical tests amongst a man and a woman became a trend in this modern days instead, we're only trying to help ourselves and secure health being for our unborn children.

[Pauldesaints]

It's one of the prerequisites for marriage especially in Africa to reduce the prevalence rate of sickle cell anaemia which has caused a big financial burdens on the parents because of the high cost of its treatment.
So it's pertinent to note, for one to avoid blaming nature for the gift of such child,test should be conducted by intending couples to identify there compatibility before marriage for total eradication of the disease.

[Joy- maker]

Well myself is also confuse as you are, because back then in Africa during the time of our fathers genotype didn't really matter when it comes to marriage which I really admire back then, but now genotype is really necessary to know before marriage, and when you eventually fall in love with someone without knowing each others genotypes and later discovered that you two genotypes didn't match to get married to each other the relationship has to end without giving it a second thought since it is already obvious that you two can't go together due to  your genotypes didn't match.
