A member asked:
I want to go thru an abortion so, i was wondering if a person with friedreich's ataxia can go thru a pregnancy & give birth?

Yes: But you must consider whether you're physically able to do this in whatever shape you're in. Most people would urge you to get prenatal testing so as to be sure you do not pass this grim disease on to the next generation. Your physician is your best guide.
