Reconsidering my position on reproducing with the balding gene

[25 going on 65]

This subject has come up before on BTT. My position at one time was "a kid born today will never have to go bald, so it does not matter if you pass your crap hair genes on"
In light of the depressingly slow progress of new treatments, & realizing more and more how many sufferers can not actually stop androgenic alopecia w/ current meds....I am going to have to say it is wrong to have children if you have this gene

Things to consider:

-If your son gets on fin or dut at 18, he still could go bald or significantly balding
-Even in your kid's lifetime the advances in treatment might not be enough to ensure a fully dense NW1-2
-Your kid may be unlucky & not respond to new treatments just like some do not respond to fin/dut/minox
-Your kid may not even be a good transplant candidate if he is a diffuser

I am sure I could think of other things if I spent a little time.
Basically there are many reasons why people should not pass their genes on. Androgenic alopecia is definitely one of them until we have a REAL CURE to this disease

The biggest parenting mistake most people make is reproducing when their genes are not good enough. Do not be selfish
