Not all diseases but certainly a few. You may recall the San Diego news anchor Bree Walker who inherited electrodactyly and then knowingly passed it on to one child, then another. She caught hell over that decision and it may have cost her her marriage to Jim Lampley.
Electrodactyly is the rare condition that causes deformed hands and feet.
There are dozens of other diseases that are almost guaranteed to appear in offspring and hundreds that are likely to. Better safe than sorry, plenty of kids available for adoption or just make do without knowing there's a chance your child could have a very rough life.
But if a parent doesnt know they have a disease, it cant be helped. There are diseases that cant be tested, no one knows.
