Genetics: Considering the 'odds' of having an affected child.

Genetics: Considering the 'odds' of having an affected child.

A genetic counselor discusses how the ‘official’ scientific odds of having an affected child can be 25% likelihood or 50% or 10% likelihood, but for that parent in that moment, it’s really 0% or 100%. It either happens or it doesn’t. The odds are a scientific reality, but the real understanding is that it CAN happen and it can happen more than once.
