...It might be awkward to ask someone to have a DNA screening at the point when dating got serious, but it might also be worth your time.

  A) I'm not asking for advice, just sharing something I found humorous in the context of the remark made. B) If you will notice, I said nothing about dating. I don't date. I don't plan on having that change. C) Given that initial testing failed to turn up my mutations, that my diagnosis (of a mild variant of the condition) is new-ish and was quite cutting edge when I got it, that they keep finding more mutations for this condition, and that I have spoken to a number of people who had to be retested after more mutations were identified to finally get theirs properly cataloged, I am of the opinion that DNA testing can confirm someone is a risk but cannot prove with 100% certainty that someone is "safe". Therefore, a bias towards men who are not of predominantly white European genealogy may be the only real insurance that can be had. D) The answer "I've had a vasectomy" works just fine for me. I am 44 years old and have serious health issues. So I have no specific plans to have more children. But my first child was not planned either and I am not past menopause. Sh*t happens. That's the piece that concerns me. But thanks for talking to me. That's almost always a Good Thing. :-D
