Not really - having been born with a pain in the ass rare disorder that is genetically carried down, there is that risk that whoever my child would be may carry the same disease, and I wouldn't really want anyone to go through the things I went through - it's Thomsen's disease, by the way. Luckily it doesn't shorten your life expectancy but some worse forms of it could (for example Myotonica could shorten your life expectancy). Luckily I don't suffer from it too much anymore since I've tried to keep active with physical therapy when I was younger and sports, though I was really bothered by it because of the feeling of being "different". One of the weird things is that you naturally train muscle quicker, making you quite buffed up - I felt bad when people mistook me for being an athlete...
So yeah, luckily it's not so bad for me but there are some kids who require to be wheelchaired with it.
Also I'm not looking for people to feel sorry for me, it's just that I never really speak about this ever, the sense of being online and a bit more anonymous makes me feel a bit more confident to speak up about it
Edit: Though I do kind of wish to have kids, but I would probably choose not to.
