Yea Hungtingtons affect you mentally and physically but from cases like my dad physically he was hurt he moved un controllably but his brain during the first year or so his mind was still the same his brother on the other hand for the firt couple of years his body didnt have much movements but he wasnt the same person mentally. But eventually Huntingtons Disease takes away everything mentally physically and earthly. earthly meaning doing things that you did b4 but cant do anymore

Thanks for the video. May God bless all of those who are affected by this disease, may he strengthen you and comfort you in your time of need. I pray that there may one day be a cure and that many lives will be saved. My love and blessings to you all!

Its just as devastating to find that you've lived your life worrying about it only to discover you dont have it just as much as it would be to discover that you do have it and begin to prepare for the future. so why bother, we all as himan beings know we're going to deteriorate and die in later life, why should we want to find out how?

I respect everyones decisions that were raised in this video. However,I was wondering - to say they didn't want to get tested? IMO, Doesn't that just prove that they are in a state of "denial"? =/ To leave it all to science? It is the individual's responsibility, first and foremost to bring a child into this world, not science.
I don't mean to offend, but their perspectives regarding their state of denial intrigued me and I would like to hear other ppl's perspectives regarding the issue.Thankyou

You fail to realise that when you are "at risk" (as in untested) you are considered a healthy normal human being and getting tested has a massive impact on everything like life insurance, family's feelings, health and finance.

Thing is though - god created all the genes as they were, mutations was part of nature and hence not "controlled" by god, because he did after all give everything he created free will. or so the story goes.

It's not as black and white as you think. Ideally - if everyone who carried the gene, can just get rid of the gene and live on and have children. but to say for them NOT to pass it on is not your call. Leave nature to do what it's meant to do... Things happen for a reason, genetic mutations happen for a reason.
